The Gentle Whisper Of The Magic. Romanian Fantastic Prose

04/1999

As a rule, the Romanian fantastic cherishes a benign type of marvelous and magical, as well as the fairy character and philosophical-demonstrative substratum, with moral intent, of the dance of phantasms; however, it still applies itself to the ghost motif, the "breach in reality", or the ghastly absurd, to fascination with deadly emchanisms, and obsessions such as the Double and the transmigration of souls, only it usually subsumes them not to the visceral, the pathological, the sheer emotional, or to hair-rising fright, but to a philosophical or ethical attitude. More exactly, to a reflective force in moral patterns.
