Nicolae Breban – Fiction, Memory and Truth

Author(s):
Iulian Boldea, Prof., PhD, UMFST Târgu Mureș

Abstract:
Nicolae Breban’s work is characterized, as expression and narrative diction, by spontaneity and naturalness, even if, deep down, one suspects the articulations of a program that values a set of essential readings from which Dostoevsky, Nietzsche or Thomas Mann are not missing. The architecture of the work is underpinned by a tension of opposites from which its individuality is born; it is a tension between the vitality of energetic, dominating writing and the lucidity, pessimistic or sceptical, of the perception of the world. Seductive, problematic, polemical, Nicolae Breban’s books reveal the qualities the prose writer has always possessed: lucidity, the fascination of storytelling, obsession with the past, the ideal and anarchy, as well as a rhetoric of the perennial truth of being fixed in the suggestive drawing of the epic.
