Keywords: parable; fantastic; subversive discourse; totalitarianism

Summary/Abstract: The construction of the parabolic text is among Dumitru Radu Popa's constant discursive options. The pleasure of building meaning on a dual level displayed by the author of the text in Skenzemon! is associated, by means of the techniques of the fantastic text, with a linguistic and human (pseudo)adventure in totalitarianism, and with a ritual and scenography of the maleficent markers meant to conceal the risks of existence under the communist dictatorship.
