TRAGIC HIGHLIGHTS IN GIB I. MIHĂESCU'S SHORT PROSE.

AN ORPHIC DESCENT INTO THE ABYSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

In the interwar literary environment, Gib I. Mihăescu’s writing, introspective and problematizing as it was, juggles with original autofictional strategies, by inserting the elements of biography into the fictional confessional writing doubled by self-irony. Under the fascination of self-disinhibition, the protagonists always remain anchored in their strategy of winning the feminine ideal over, hence their great disappointment.
