Summary/Abstract: The writer Titus Popovici, a keen supporter of the decade, becomes after 1989 an active objector of the death nomenclature. With a complex personality, a pure intelligence of the written word, Titus Popovici has the great ability of using the irony in the most complex and deep way. He uses this ruthless sword both in his propagandist writing and also in his post- decembre novels. Great personalities of the didactor regime are roughly satirised, especially after the 1989s , when the writer can express himself freely, without deceiving the censor. Consequently, the thrill of the irony is felt in every single character and also his world, having a huge influence in his work.
