Summary/Abstract: The present paper has been designed as an x-ray to the communist distorted perspective on the literary phenomenon during its period and to the socialist realism concept, attempting to clarify its coordinates and to accurately define its players. The study would also underline the failure and the grotesque as specific marks of those crisis times for both literature and culture.
