Dorin Tudoran, de la "Ultimul turnir" (1992) la "De bunăvoie, autobiografia mea" (2020)
Dorin Tudoran, from "Ultimul turnir" (1992) (”The Last Tournament”) (1992) to ”De bunăvoie, autobiografia mea” (2020) ("Free willingly, my autobiography")

Summary/Abstract: Being banned in the Socialist Republic of Romania since 1982, Tudoran came back again, after 1990, on the market of cultural products by means of reprints (Ultimul turnir, 1992; Viitorul facultativ / Optional Future, 1999; Tânărul Ulise, 2000; Pisicuţ. Somnografii, 2010; De bunăvoie, autobiografia mea, 2020) and through the recent journalism of the themes and meta-themes of the Romanian transition, from Kakistocraţia (1998) to Luxul indiferenţei (2015). The process of recovering the poetry of Tudoran ended in 2020, with the reprint of the volume De bunăvoie, autobiografia mea, in a revised and improved edition, accompanied by Cuvânt înainte. Sticla. Apa. Malul. Oamenii, by Dorin Tudoran, together with the afterword De bunăvoie, autobiografia mea. Lungul drum al întoarcerii acasă, through which we joined the others, frankly animating the process of recovering a viable poetic work. Regarding the writings of Dorin Tudoran, from the volumes of lyrics to the clandestine essay Frig sau Frică? Sau despre condiţia intelectualului român de azi, printed in Paris in 1984, we need to specify that we are not in front of a hidden writer, dreaming of internal, politico-social, favorable changes, at the foundation of which should stand the suffering and courage of others, because the author of Cântec de trecut Akheronul volunteered to leave the ranks and face the crushing dictatorship of literary and non-literary existences. Before 1989, when he signed his essay Frig sau Frică? Sau despre condiţia intelectualului român de azi (Paris, 1984) and De bunăvoie, autobiografia mea (Denmark, 1986), and also after 1990, when he elaborated his great "polemical chronicle of the moment" (from Kakistocraţia to Luxul indiferenţei), Tudoran was the same political, social and literary rebellious polemicist and pamphleteer, surprising by means of the most vigorous art of the spectacular handling of the idea and of the Romanian language.
