In order to describe this narrative structure as an emergent subgenre of the postmodern maximalist novel, we coined the term ‘maximalist autofiction.’ We then discussed Cărtărescu’s option for maximalist autofiction and the effects this literary choice has had on his representation of Romanian late socialism. The novel is an ample, paranoid, metaphysical, and counterfactual autobiography that uses a late-communist backdrop to create a metaphorically skewed representation of the self and the world. This article studies the fictionalization of late Eastern-European socialism in contemporary Romania, namely the literary projection of the 1980s in Mircea Cărtărescu’s autofictional novel Solenoid (2015). ![]()

These cats probably honky tonk for fun, and you need to hear them. It’s authentic but not empty, like so many bands trying to capitalize on things such as swing or rockabilly trends. These guys believe in honky-tonk music, and sound like it. The musicianship is exceptional, and the presentation is sincere. They’re still doing their thing at the Empty Bottle, as one of the most reliably excellent free nights of music that you’ll find. ![]() ![]() Remember that hilarious scene in “The Blues Brothers,” in which the bar owner’s wife says about musical variety: “We have country and western.” That’s the Hoyles.

Wurmbrand’s experience, where “supernatural became the natural,” included stories of angels appearing in the prison during that time. Now, four years later, they’re releasing a prequel, Sabina: Tortured for Christ – the Nazi Years, about how Wurmbrand and his wife met, fell in love, and found faith. In 2017, Grooters and Voices of the Martyrs produced the feature-length Tortured for Christ, fifty years after Richard Wurmbrand published his experience after fourteen years of torture in the Socialist Republic of Romania. ![]() ![]() When he and his wife launched their own production company in 2001, they made themselves available for all of the stages in the process of filmmaking, and partnered with Voices of the Martyrs on projects.

Grenouille spends his childhood learning all the different smells in the world and their names. He can smell people and places and things to a degree that no human ever could, and this ability is at the center of his life’s obsession. He can smell what’s behind cabinets and walls - not just obvious things like fragrance materials, but things like money, too. He can smell a specific person - or their absence - somewhere in a city while standing outside its gates. ![]() Ironically enough for someone who smells nothing, Grenouille is obsessed with scent, and his sense of smell is incredible. ![]() This guy goes without bathing for years and he simply doesn’t smell like anything.

Something about this feels like a twisted sort of Christ allegory in reverse. ![]() ![]() ![]() But its inner heart is as backwards-looking as floral upholstery and reruns of Friends.
