Having benefited of a reception that was more politic, rather than literary, Paul Goma’s work needs an objective critical examination. One of the most recent author’s books, Infarct (Heart Attack), a mixture of fiction and realism, is written in the form of a journal, in the authentic style. Fusing various thematic palettes, this writing offers a harsh picture of the morally degraded epoch. Having taken the convention of a calendar, speaking from the 1st person, with a tone of cruel sincerity with an aim to uncover the truth, relying on data from identifiable reality, Paul Goma proves to be an adept of authenticity idea both on the ideological and technical levels.
