Ion Creanga’s Memoirs… between Re-construction and Fictionalization

Keywords: Ion Creanga; autobiographical writing; literary fiction

Summary/Abstract: The relationship between the recuperating strategies of memoirs and fiction, and, respectively, the fictionalization of the memoirist as character in a text such as Amintiri din copilărie (Memoirs of My Boyhood) makes the object of a constant series of opinions and critical controversies. The formula of the indirect novel seems to best match this kind of text superposing the marks of autobiographical writing and those of literary fiction as such.
