Summary/Abstract: The author reviews Andreea Răsuceanu’s Linia Kármán, the concluding volume of her trilogy, a masterful exploration of literary geographies, human memory, and intergenerational trauma. Rooted in a theoretical framework influenced by geocriticism and geopolitics, the novel intertwines intricate narratives spanning from the 19th century to the present. With multifocal perspectives and nuanced characters, it examines the interplay between space and identity, the haunting power of objects, and the tensions of historical and personal memory. By addressing themes like exile, belonging, social inequalities, and the cyclical nature of trauma, Răsuceanu achieves a synthesis of realism, mysticism, and a richly layered portrayal of Romania’s cultural and emotional landscapes.
