Tudor Ţopa sau Despre jurnal ca operă totală
Tudor Ţopa or about the diary as a total Work

Summary/Abstract: Paramount figures of post-war Romanian literature, Radu Petrescu, Mircea Horia Simionescu, Alexandru George, Costache Olăreanu and Tudor Ţopa rediscover the diary, believing in the equivalence diary-novel and writing diaries convinced that, in fact, they write novels. Rejecting from the start the great narratives, they seek to demonstrate they can write in a different manner, at a time when literature is going through a crisis. Tudor Ţopa’s writings are hard to classify as he plays with the conventions of the genre and introduces a narrator with a different name than the one on the book cover (Teofil). His diary presents a multiplicity of perspectives which he achieves by introducing both a copyist and the author. Throughout the book, the reader may easily observe the metamorphosis of the autobiographical pact to fiction, from simple recounting of facts and common sequence of actions into deep and intimate narrative.
