Summary/Abstract: Starting from Ţepeneag’s latest novel, Bulgarian Truck, published in Romania in 2010, this article intends to investigate Ţepeneag’s “oniric literature” not only from a “structural” and narratological point of view, but also from a rhetorical and textual point of view. Ţepeneag moves in a metaliterary dimension that gives great space to the “mise en abyme” of writing. For Ţepeneag, the novel is not only art, but it is, above all, an instrument of knowledge that allows the reader to implement, in full freedom, all possible combinations and associations, questioning the models that naively rely on any form of realism objectivistic or transparency of the world, also allowing words to speak the truth of desire.
