Summary/Abstract: Cronica literara: Cosmin Borza - "Complexul" Adrian Marino. Adrian Marino, Viaţa unui om singur, Polirom, Iaşi, 2010, 526 p. Biblioteca stranie: Bizarerii in Proza straina (Ruxandra Cesereanu). Not only professional readers, but readers in general may be, sometimes or oftentimes, fascinated both by classical, respectable, famous books and by unusual, strange, atypical, exotic works (and the list of qualifiers could go on). I prefer to call these books simply outlandish. This essay analyses two such outlandish novels, as regards both their subject matter and their style. The two novels are indicative of new tendencies emerging in contemporary fiction.
