The W/wall(s) in Contemporary Fiction
Zidul / urile în proza contemporană

Summary/Abstract: By analysing William T. Vollmann’s novel Europe Central in the light of Virginia Woolf’s views on identity and the interconnectedness of private and public worlds expressed in her 1938-essay “Three Guineas,” the paper aims at showing the role contemporary fiction assumes in the post-communist era. As the contemporary novelists have become acutely sensitive to the topical issues of the contemporary world, they started addressing them artistically with a view to identifying the causes of conflicts and accounting for the traumatic effects these have on the modern individual.
