There are, in my opinion, in the debate of the postwar Romanian canon a couple of aspects that need to be pointed out: necessity of a real dispute on the Romanian canon, confusion between the esthetical canon and sub-canons ( the curricular, didactical and the intern, characterizing a literary current) which is reduced, in fact, to the debate between the two literary generations : ―the sixties‖ and ―the eighties‖ – the official canon of the realist-socialist literature or proletcultist literature, and the canon of the more or less underground culture, the literature that continues the modern stream initiated by the authors of the inter-war period. This entire debate is complicated by the absence of an objective literary critique capable to set the values, given the fact that most of the ―eighties‖ writers are also theoreticians.
