A Tomb for Boris Davidovich, a political parable focusing the horrors of the Stalinist world between the two World Wars, turns to be a ―poietic‖ novel also, reflecting its own structures and patterns. By building up a historiographic metafiction based on different ―existential files‖ put together by an historian playing the role of both mythical and real history bricoleur, the main character named Danilo Kis de-constructs the symbolical scenarios of the „new Stalinist religion‖, re-reading them through the holly Jewish and Christian books where, beyond the great utopias, he looks for the totalitarian type of „crossing the boundaries‖.
