Summary/Abstract: Using examples from selected short prose texts by Ştefan M. Găbrian, one of the most important representatives of Romanian short prose, strategies of resistance and of exposing a world of swindles and illusions are demonstrated. Găbrian criticizes, through subtle present day relevance and grotesque excesses, the reality of the socialistic everyday life in Ceaușescu’s dictatorship with its privations, queuing and administrative procedures.
