This text is the preface to the book The Voltaic Arc.The Text as (i)mediate reality written by Nina Corcinschi. The book was published within a project of B.P. Haşdeu Library, at Notograf Prim Publishing house in 2012. The author proposes chronicles to published books in poetry, prose and literary criticism as well as thorough studies about Grigore Vieru, Paul Goma, Grigore Chiper, about short prose from Moldova, etc. The book is written with nerve, it is consistent and shows the same, constant passion for (i) mediated readings in which the febrile clarifications and precise and subtle qualifications have a gift to challenge and persuade.
