ARTI I ARKIVAVE
THE ART OF ARCHIVES

Summary/Abstract: The novel I confess to the tombstone of Agron Tufa, as a fictional hypertext written on documentary hypotexts, is a novel with two narrative lines that contain stories by and about two raped women in two systems: communism and democracy. The story of the novel narrated by the female perspective turns the narrative into gynocentric discourse. The stories of raped females are given as facts, documents and recordings, as they are also taken from real files and then modified by the author.Agron Tufa with this novel turns the confessions founded in archive into a thrilling art that penetrates deep into the psychology of abusers and victims. The novel can also be read as a complaint and as a tribute: as a complaint of two women about their fates in two political systems and as an author’s tribute for the victims. The novel I confess to the tombstone of Agron Tufa combines the documents with the fabrications and the individual anamnesis with the collective amnesia, to articulate an aesthetic denunciation which is not meant to lynch, but to make a national catharsis.
