Summary: | Imbued with the nostalgia for "Romania of the mind" as reflected by the metaphor of "snail's house" the literary works addressed in our paper deal with a pervading acuteness of exilic consciousness of trans-location superseding the ambiguous ethnic (Jewish-Romanian-American). We attempt to follow the narrative/historical trajectories on the imaginary maps Manea's works entail, bearing in mind such concepts as "literary geography" "spatial imagination" or "projected spaces in fiction" based on (re)reading his texts with a special focus on the documentary value of (re)location. |
