Il caso Kadare e la censura nei paesi comunisti
The case of Kadare and censorship in communist countries

Summary/Abstract: The case of Kadare and censorship in communist countries. The article re-evaluates the role of the self-censorship in the literature of the communist countries using as a case-study the work and the interviews of the most famous albanian writer of XX century Ismail Kadare. Kadare tries to move the conflict center between him and his detractors on the – more convenient for him – ground of comparison between the real and the secondo class literature, calling him out of the discussion about him and his work in terms of dissent.The article argues that the role of the self-censorship has been conveniently overlooked by him and that such role connveniently overlooked and that such role establishes the real value of Kadare social-realism works.
