TOZGREC. THE WORLD AS AN IMPERFECT SYSTEM AND THE REPULSION FOR FICTION

Summary/Abstract: Ioan Petru Culianu considered Tozgrec a fantasy novel ("the first version of the fantastic novel I am writing (Tozgrec)” ), according to the letter sent to Mircea Eliade in September 1984. The book will be published posthumously, being allocated to his author function. Despite this confession, in the novel, the writer admits he feels repulsion for literature and fiction, generally, bluntly putting it that "literature disgusts me. I don’t want to write literature” in the Introduction. The affirmation is reinforced in the line „repulsion for short story”, the writer rushing to carefully clarify, on the same page, the fact that „this novel is not, properly, fiction, even though it seems to be”.
