Summary/Abstract: In Doina Rusti’s work one may perceive fragments of her own life which fall into place like jigsaw puzzle pieces.The reader is invited to enter a kaleidoscope in order to decipher the mysteries of books written in an original style,similar to a lightly allegorical palimpsest which will always reflect a part of the novelist‘s life.In the reflective mirror of the text, the informed reader feels the biographical references and the writer‘s personality is enhanced by interpreting the characters and the symbols in her previous books as well as the souls she has met throughout her lifetime.Doina Rusti, the original, imaginative and subtle novelist voluptuously goes through the stages of creation and conceives an epic weaving which does not leave out the temptation of playfulness through which she facilitates the passage towards an imaginary world abounding in echoes, meanders and multiple avatars.Doina Rusti’s work is fascinating in itself as well as enchanting the reader through the novelist’s amazing ability to recover matrix images,paradigmatic symbols and echoes of the originary creation.Her prose is defined by aromas of her autobiography and presents places full of nostalgia,places or objects with strange or ritualistic facets as presented in „The ghost in the mill”.The childhood space becomes, in this respect, a maze in which the living being’s past is hidden away.The woman of letters recreates a time filled with multi-mythical smells and oneiric reflections which could be connected by methodically examining her novels.On balance, the author‘s books allude to realism in observation and to fantasy in representation.
