Summary/Abstract: The refusal of fiction actually outlines "a poetics of authenticity" and the preference for new aesthetic formulas, such as intimate diaries, memoirs, autobiographies, private correspondence, confession. Knowledge and experience are the new meanings of interwar authenticity, being closely related to techniques and concepts such as psychological analysis, first person narrative, the uniqueness of the narrative perspective, the stream of consciousness. Starting from the new artistic direction, novelists such as Camil Petrescu, Mircea Eliade, Mihail Sebastian, Anton Holban, Max Blecher will translate their own experiences in literary works to support the new aesthetics.
