As a work, as a philosophy and as a personality, the exegete, Ion, entrusts us. D. Sîrbu is, from the beginning, singular due to his hybrid profile. He is, at the same time, a Cerchist and a realist-socialist. The analytical reading undertaken by the author of the monograph starts from the horizon of the "masterpiece" towards the first literary attempts, combining the external biography of the man and the biography of the work in the over-theme of the study: "biography of the authorial identity". The "case" of I.D. Sîrbu is instrumentalized with the discovery of the fact that the "stylistic and ideational break" between postums and antums is misleading. The dissent of the "journalist without a diary" remains implicit for a long time and without great risks, adds Sorina Sorescu, and when it gets to express itself, it will happen exclusively "in the hidden space of privacy". Only in the "drawer texts" does the dogmatic of hope give way to eschatological pathos. Sorina Sorescu's book will dynamite many prejudices and will surely be included among the fundamental monographic contributions. Constantin M. POPA
