THE GEOGRAPHY OF IMAGINARY IN FĂNUȘ NEAGU’S SHORT STORIES

Summary/Abstract: Fanus Neagu’s short stories express a real nostalgia for the origins, the narrator places the characters and the tale itself into an archetypal world based on the reconstruction of the reality, so Braila’s villages are rebuild, following new rules, in this fictional space. This way the village itself turns into a matrix space infused with magic, a space where the characters live at the boundary between reality and myth. The narrator leads the reader through a labyrinth created by the magic waters of ponds into a real dry plain. The narrative atmosphere is generated by the slow infusion of the fabulous in the ordinary ontological space. The plot constantly oscillates between two times points, magic and real in the same time: the day and the night.
