Alexandru Burlacu is a critic particularly concerned by revisions, axiological reconsideration in Bessarabian literature. His articles are methodological studies, supported by history and literary theory pillars. His pamphlets are full of verve, of harsh skepticism and blunt assessments. As the author of such consistent studies about Vladimir Besleaga confirmations, Aureliu Busuioc, Paul Goma, Andrei Turcanu, Vasile Vasilache, Vlad Iovita, Constantin Stere, etc. he does not avoid any bad books or doubtful authors, especially those who have pacted with authorities. The courage and intransigent attitude that characterize his pamphlets is a test for professionalism, character, and also a sign of maturity of the criticism genre.
