Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the relationship between Mihail Sebastian’s literary works and his autobiographical writings. Even though his life was influenced by several watershed events of the twentieth century, this particular author defended both his moral integrity and his cultural options. Sebastian’s diaristic writings are thus relevant to each and every one of us and demand to be re-assessed through our own individual lenses. Keeping a journal, the confessing self is definitively committed to writing “to the moment”. This type of discourse has all the makings of analytical drama, from which the “protagonist”, in the purest sense of the word, is never absent.
