G.M. Zamfirescu and the lyric of the slum

Summary/Abstract: Within the interwar literature, G.M. Zamfirescu remains a twisted destiny, a name added to "the series of tragic destinies, broken long before time", who left as legacy an unequal work, as the writer was trying more means of artistic expression: drama, fiction, novel. The passages from one gender to another were most of the times the result of disappointments, of dissatisfaction generated by failure, by the lack of appreciation or by so long postponed success which would just make the taste of victory bitter. Thwarted in a reality which he reinterprets, sometimes distorting it, pressed by deadlines which torment him as he does not have "the ease of writing", G.M. Zamfirescu is refused the accomplishment of a dream, which, as simple as it might appear, proved to be as difficult as it could be in its materialization: "It would be impossible for me to work under limitations/thwarted. I must be allowed to breathe freely. I have never asked anything else from life but to be left to breathe freely and to have the liberty to write. A dream like any other dream"
