PARABLE AND EXOTICISM IN ALEXANDRU ECOVOIU`S PROSE
PARABLE AND EXOTICISM IN ALEXANDRU ECOVOIU`S PROSE

Summary/Abstract: The subject-matter of Ecovoiu’s narrative is a-temporal and is extraneous to the Romanian cultural space, hence it does not rely on local specificity, nor does it rely on virtuosities of an untranslatable linguistic expressiveness. The writer places his narrative in the international waters of novel-writing and parable – which represents the advantage of significant openness and of broad human issues from the very outset. The main explanation for all this cannot but lie in the surprising combination between parable, that yields the accessibility of the message therein, and the exotic nature of the narrative, that ensures its appeal to readers worldwide, readers willing to be impressed by a cinematographic perusal of worlds. Not only is Saludos a novel about an imaginary journey, but it is one about spiritual adventure at large.
