Narrative Strategies in Mircea Horia Simionescu’s Dictionar Onomastic

Summary/Abstract: Dictionar Onomastic made Mircea Horia Simionescu famous during communism by its usage of postmodernist techniques and spectacular ingenuity. Highly acclaimed as a masterpiece of parody, pastiche and avant-guard-like deconstructing goals, the novel successfully camouflaged a secret, tragic dimension, motivating its nihilist approach on culture. Nevertheless, a powerful anticommunist system of messages works on the sub-textual level of the book, making it a meta-fictional work.
