Memorizing and remembrance of war in Gib Mihăescu's short stories. Recovery as a form of existence of paper beings

Summary/Abstract: Integration of war as a defining experience of his literary personality, makes that Gib Mihăescu to bring heroism to the surface, but also the trauma of the combatant, by encompassing a broad spectrum, from the grotesque, absurd reality of killing the father wrongly identified with the enemy, to the sprightly silence which postulates eternity as the only measure of facts. Assimilation of the creative act with the restructuring of the memory of the character recovers the same standpoint of forcing human resistance, a heterogeneous blend of guilt and defence instinct, of heroism and cowardice, actually a gradual degradation of existence. Ambiguity is a preferred construction method, thus in the front line the advancement is confused with the withdrawal, the group separation can be an act of betrayal, and generosity is punished as the effect of decoding hallucinating scenarios. Created in the emotive registry, the novels propose to the lecturer a personal myth of the author involved as a critical demonstration, he has the function of directing narrated events and records the facts as a photographic memory. The characters are invested with lucidity which makes their journey more dramatic, they are marked by dreams that become premonitory acts, by suspicions that turn into obsessions, their intimate structure appears separately by cleavage in an internal and external war alike.
