Summary/Abstract: Dora Pavel’s The Caligari Effect is a labyrinthine novel where the shadows of German Expressionism, post-romantic melancholy, and clinical gothic intertwine in a hypnotic demonstration of how fiction can both diagnose and intoxicate reality. / From the pages of Orizont magazine, Raul Săran steps confidently into the editorial arena of literary criticism, offering through The American Tragic Flaw in David Foster Wallace’s Fiction an X-ray of tragic guilt in late 20th-century American literature, seen through the lens of a “post-postmodern” writer who has become a cult figure: David Foster Wallace.
