Summary/Abstract: This article aims to highlight the issue of placing the text Journal of a Journalist Without a Journal in the category of fictional or nonfictional text. Without giving verdicts, it illustrates features of both species recognizable in Sîrbu's work and reveals the complexity of the documentary material that transgresses the options of classification through its intrinsic value. The writer proved to be a master of presenting the last decade of Romanian communism through highly suggestive episodes that belong to themes that converge towards the idea of individual pain and general suffering.
