Having studied the works of literary history and literary criticism published in the
Romanian space of the last decades, we have noticed that the life and work of writer Alice Botez
are fairly unknown. The writer fits with great difficulty in the panoply of Romanian literature, as
she cannot match the generalist patterns hemming and labelling with the help of the ever-
changing critical works.
After more than three decades since the death of the author (1985), the studies dedicated
to her are very few and present only fragments of her literary activity. With few and notable
exceptions, the literary critics have focused only on the novels (Fimbulwinter, The Forest and
Three Days.The Scene Alternative, Longing Hemisphere, The Eclipse) and the dramatic poem
Driopte or Dialogue at the Caucasian Wall. Historic Evocation, while her publicist works, the
volume of her short stories The White Island and The Book of Fantastic Realities. Journal are
either treated superficially or completely ignored.
The paper aims at analysing the main aspects of the biography and work, an investigation
and systematisation of the information (dispersed and fragmented) regarding the life of Alice
Botez, as well as the analysis of the corpus of texts signed by the author in order to correctly and
comprehensively understand her life and writing.
The monographic perspective of the paper imposes an analytical approach of the entire
published work, during her lifetime and posthumously, both the writings published in volumes
(Fimbulwinter, Editura pentru Literatură, Bucharest, 1968; The Forest and Three Days. The
Scene Alternative, Editura Eminescu, Bucharest, 1970; Driopte or Dialogue at the Caucasian
Wall, Editura Eminescu, Bucharest, 1975; Longing Hemisphere, Editura Eminescu, Bucharest,
1979; The Eclipse, Editura Cartea Românească, Bucharest, 1979; The White Island, Editura
Eminescu, Bucharest, 1984; The Book of Fantastic Realities. Journal, under the supervision of
Fabian Anton, Bucharest, Editura Curtea Veche, 2001), and the witings published in periodicals
(„Vremea”, „Izvoare de filosofie”, „Luceafărul”, „România Literară”).
In addition to the published volumes and the texts published in magazines, „The
Documentary Fund Alice Botez” (FDAB) of the Bucharest Metropolitan Library was the basis of
this research. The fund comprises three files with photos, personal documents, correspondence

and a few unpublished manuscripts (work charts, summaries, translations, sketches for short
stories and sixteen versions of a poem).
The reasons behind the choice of theme are multiple: the generosity of the theme, the
very few preoccupations which offer a complete painting of the life and work of a very complex,
the fascination of the symbols integrated in the literary works.
The work of Alice Botez must be approached from an integrating cultural perspective,
retrieving and focusing on less known aspects of her formation by establishing and extending
links between biography and philosophical and literary preoccupations. Of course, the discussed
themes are also partially present with other authors, but what distinguishes the creation of Alice
Botez is the personal mode of approach of the themes.
Another reason why we consider our undertaking necessary is the possibility to apply
modern narratology theories on the literary texts (journal, novels and dramatic poem), especially
French theories regarding feminine writing, autobiographies, intimate journal, the frontiers of the
fantastic, the time of memory, the role of stage directions in the dramatic text, historic memory
and internal memory, conscious otherness, refused otherness.
As critical approaches to the work of Alice Botez are rare (and the secondary
bibliography, implicitly), we consider that the research undertaking has as the main gain the
novelty of the approach, the personal vision in the analysis of literary works.
By going through and re-evaluating a rich critical bibliography, we have managed to
circumscribe the themes of the works, to focus the discursive strategies (narrative and dramatic),
to reach a more profound understanding of temporal dynamics, of the vision of the space as
fiction generator and to underline the force of the dissimulation of the tragic character of
personal histories.
The research respected the requirements of a scientific enterprise of the monographic
type, starting with the definition of the problem to be researched, followed by the identification
of the text corpus (published in volume and periodicals), the discovery, transcription, description
and interpretation of the novel documentary resources (the Documentary Fund Alice Botez) and
of the secondary bibliographic reference points (in volume, in periodicals or in electronic

format). The compilation, interpretation and systematisation of data regarding the life of the
writer (the historical, political, social, cultural context and strictly biographical elements) based
on a logical plan, the investigation, study case and comparison have been another important step
in the reconstruction of the auctorial profile.
Enlarging the data base regarding the new tendencies of the literary theory and criticism
and the application of these modern concepts on the text corpus by the analysis (followed by a
synthetizing vision) of the discursive and dramatic strategies have also been part of the research
undertaking.
The paper is structured in five chapters, comprising a number of 207 pages. Before them,
a comprehensive Introduction presents the object of the research, the text corpus used, the
present stage of the research on the author Alice Botez, the actuality and necessity of the
research theme, the new ideas followed in the research.
The thesis also contains Conclusions followed by a Bibliography divided in the sections
Text Corpus (in volume and in periodicals), Memoirs writings about Alice Botez, Literary
Histories, Literature dictionaries, Critical texts in volume about Alice Botez, Critical texts in
periodicals about Alice Botez, General Critical Bibliography, in volume and in electronic format.
The Annexes contain some letters and novel texts, transcribed from the FDAB folders.
Chapter I, Biographic Profile, follows the information on Alice Botez, very rare because
of the loss of a great number of the family documents in time, but especially in two essential
moments (the demolition of the house in Uranus in 1984 and then the death of the writer’s
mother in 1985).
The few known documents, gathered in three very thin files under the name of the
Documentary Fund Alice Botez (FDAB, inv. No 295/ 2006) are available at the Bucharest
Metropolitan Library, but unfortunately can only be described and transcribed as the internal
regulations of the library ban their photocopying and publication in any form.
This is why the reconstruction of the biography was based on the few articles in the
literature dictionaries and in literary histories, on journals written by Jeni Acterian, Arşavir
Acterian and Gena Geamănu, on the memoirs of two writers who crossed paths at various times

in their lives (Stefan Agopian and Florin Iaru) and on a few letters, either published as Addenda
to journals, or valorised from the documentary fund mentioned above.
The biography, with no particular event line, is followed chronologically, with the most
important moments of the writer’s life outlined: her studies, the special relationship with
professor Nae Ionescu, her jobs, then the marriage with artist Constantin Bulat, her debut in
periodicals and late debut in volume (1968), the interactions with her very few friends. There
emerges the image of a highly educated personality, fluent and translating from French and
German, with an opening to the vast spaces of philosophy and an exceptional literary talent, who
always refused to register with the unwritten laws of a destructive era and found salvation in the
act of writing.
Chapter II, The Works of Alice Botez Published in Periodicals, sets the important
reference points of the period between the two world wars, characterised by unprecedented
effervescence, among which there is the periodical “Vremea”, where Alice Botez will publish
literary chronicles for two months (November – December 1940). We considered that the
analysis of these chronicles is necessary because they are not very known as they have never
been compiled and published in a critical edition. Secondly, the chronicles underline a
profoundly original vision, clear and complete, mostly due to the vast literary, historical and
philosophical culture and the writer undoubtedly establishes the value of a work, its place in
relation with other literary works and the elements which ensure the survival of the work in time.
Chapter III, the Book of Fantastic Realities. Journal, contains a history of the journal and
its reception, presents general data about the journal of Alice Botez and it analyses the internal
markers of looking for the self: paradoxical spaces, existential simulacra, antinomy chromatics,
separation between materiality and essence, the metamorphoses of the self after the war years,
unveiling and overcoming of the limits of the self. The act of looking for the self is an expression
of loneliness, and the author lingers in the emotions of the past in order to retrieve the oldest
memories.
As compared to other journals, written in the same period, a period of real opening to the
real culture, for example the journals of the Criterion friends Mircea Vulcănescu, Mircea Eliade,
Jeni and Arşavir Acterian, the volume does not respect the conventions of this type of diary

writing, but it is a subtle meditation on the possibilities of the human being to fight a permanent
battle between good and evil, between light and darkness. Thus, the journal presents an
exceptional destiny at the confluence of two incompatible cultural eras, an ascending way of an
interiorised loneliness, with a saving reflex of isolation and an instinct for suffering: “I am the
only desperate person in the universe” (Botez 2001: 128).
The journal completely lacks the main characteristics of the intimate (Didier 2002):
material and financial notes, details of the ordinary day-to-day existence, strong impressions of
intellectual and moral life, reflexes of intimate materiality, accents of corporality, emotional
compatibilities or incompatibilities, summaries, anniversaries, events which can be integrated
into the ephemerides category. On the contrary, the text unveils a map of internal worlds, the
geography of spaces populated by phantasms, dreams, melancholies, fears, despairs, and
otherness accents.
The author herself proposes a personal reading key (focusing on the side of the fantastic)
in the literary chronicle on Emil Botta’s novel The Slug published in the magazine “Vremea”,
where she distinguishes three recognized directions of the Romanian narrative fiction: epic,
humoristic, and fantastic.
Alice Botez constructs an essential lesson, at the forefront of which she fights, in turns,
the identity renunciation and the blind obedience to motivated vanity. The explicit chromatic is
aggressive-symbolical, verging antinomy, based on a religious intertext, common to the semiotic
system of European mythologies and of the subsequent Christianity.
The temptation to read the Journal in a definitely dual hermeneutical grid, where light
represents divinity, the victory of the spirit over matter, knowledge, communion with the sacred,
wisdom and, to the contrary, darkness – chaos, distance from God, limits to knowledge
(Biedermann 2002: 206-207, Chevalier, Geerbrandt 1995: 236-242, Dictionary 1995: 780-781),
is great, but an increased requisition, doubled by fine nuances, becomes absolutely necessary in
order not to fall into the temptation of the easy read. We shall notice that the two primordial
elements (often replaced by the chromatic pair white/ black) are mutually replaceable or can be
combined in various proportions, and the result is a definitely internalised world, acquiring
personality through a revelatory loneliness.

Chapter IV, Alice Botez, the playwright, underlines the relationship of Alice Botez with
the theatre and analyses the dramatic poem Driopte or Dialogue at the Caucasian Wall,
revealing the obsession of the mirror and investigating the symbolical characters, bearers of
masks, decrypting the strategies of dramatic discourse (the circular reflecting frame, the oversize
stage directions, the combination of the visual and audition elements, the introduction of
sapiential sentences) and the multiple reading keys.
The relation of Alice Botez with the theatre is not direct. Of course, among her readings
on multiple levels must have been classical plays of world literature. She must have definitely
attended some theatrical representations of the interwar period, classical music concerts, cinema
opening nights or Criterion conferences together with Jeni Acterian and her group of friends, as
the former wrote in her diary (Acterian 1991).
Her husband, Constantin Bulat, wrote a few plays, which remained unpublished and for
which he drew his own scenography, sketches which Alice Botez must have definitely known,
given the spiritual relation between the two.
We doubt, however, that in the after war atmosphere, with its open reflection of the
problems of the new man, theatrical representations, with their contents distorted by the canons
of the era, should have been a major interest point for Alice Botez: “There were, undoubtedly,
especially in the first decades, dark manifestations, some even sinister altogether, sheer
obtuseness and language violence (ideological …). (…)It was not easy. There were strict themes,
unavoidable, in the columns of the press and the arena of so many congresses there was a
dissonant battle cry, with an unbearable Bolshevik air”. (Faifer 2010 b:123)
The entire cultural landscape was changed, forced to respect the black and white
paradigm of the class fight, which becomes a literary conflict: “During this historical times, the
writers’ natural will to assert themselves and to create was counterattacked and slowed down by
the prohibitive action of the editorial (and even post –editorial) control system and it was
hijacked through all types of elusions and diversionist techniques (all serving the communist
ideology, which imposed only one course to literature). Under the pressure of these adverse
forces, the only possible outcome was a sick landscape …” (Negrici 2008: 140)

In this arid field, whose only coordinates are “… the biographical meanders and
axiological landscape, with possible falsified hierarchies and unavoidable recalibrations, the
thematic stock and opportunistic crouches, the cliché consumerism and ideological subservience,
the authorial vanities and negativist acerbities …” (Rachieru 2013:39), the only play written by
Alice Botez, the dramatic poem Driopte or Dialogue at the Caucasian Wall stands out from the
pseudo-aesthetic imperatives of the time, rather resonating with Mihail Dragomirescu’s concept
of the dramatic work: “ … a physical reality, with a precious psychological load, projected into a
perfect form”. (Faifer 2010 b:81)
Published in 1975, the play was never performed (mainly because of the subject matter
which could not be integrated in the theatrical programmes of the times and partly because of the
extremely complicated scenography) and it is implicitly very little known.
Chapter V, Alice Botez, the novelist, follows the complex constructions of the novels and
of the short stories volume, developed with clear lucidity and self-awareness which show the
maturity of an author who is aware of her own creative powers.
With the vanity (fully understandable) not to imitate the literary experiences of her
contemporaries to whom she does not feel any link except the links of the historical times, as she
does not fit any generation group, avoiding the ever-present controversies of the times and also
the joining of the group praising “the great achievements”, constantly refusing to alter the
aesthetic principles she based her entire work on, Alice Botez creates some distance from her
colleagues and joins the Writers’ Union of the Socialist Republic of Romania only formally.
From her debut with The assassination in the Forest of Crooked Despair (in “Vremea”,
year XVI, no 761, August 6th 1944) to her editorial debut with the novel Fimbulwinter (Editura
pentru Literatură, Bucharest, 1968) there were 24 years of silence. No wonder, then, that the
critical reactions to the her volumes were so few in a historic, ideological and cultural context
very unfavourable to the reception of texts which did not fit the pseudo-aesthetic norms of the
period, although the publishing of the novel, in Elvira Sorohan’s opinion, was possible only in a
moment of weakness of the assault of socialist realism on Romanian literature (Sorohan 2011 c:
21).

Even less easy to explain is the quasi-total silence after the opening offered by 1989,
when these literary creations should have been given their rightful place as fabric texts, as word
and letter architecture through which “reality is built symbolically, established and transmitted.
(…) The texts are structured as rites. The rites have, just like the texts, a theme which
functionally determines the combination of the integral elements, of the integral pieces.”
(Metzeltin-Thir 2013: 14)
Closer research will show the fact that Alice Botez’s novels are not just simple epic
exercises or easy literary games, but complex constructions, developed with clear lucidity and
self-awareness which show the maturity of an author who has been aware of her own creative
powers since her early literary chronicles published in “Vremea”.
In her novels the author positions herself in an uncomfortable exterior, expressly outside
the reflected world and allows the characters to tell their own existence and thoughts in
fragments interrupted by others and then resumed at great distance within the text, always as
consolidation or augmentation. (Sorohan 2011 c: 20)
The characters are analysed from the perspective of the multiple dissimulated identities,
provocative and complex, to which the intermediary constructs of subjective realities correspond,
developing relations of dependency of the human with its space and temporal availabilities or
unavailability.
The characters lose or regain their identity in certain places, in exterior physical spaces
(the street, the market, the street junction, the garden) or interior places: the house, certain rooms
(bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchens, hallways, cellars), or by entering a relation with identity
bearing objects. The searching unfolds either in an assumed loneliness, desired, demanded, or in
a forced loneliness, in a reclusion which inevitably leads to an inertial decline of the human
being.
The present research started from the fact that Romanian literature still has vast spaces
which are ignored by historians, hermeneutists and literary critics alike. Although today we
witness a true information boom in various domains and, of course, in the philological sciences,
and although the text resources (to a large extent) are more accessible than 20 or 30 years ago

comprehensive studies to try to present extensively the life and work of an author are, at many
times, unidirectional and are tributary to the use of methods focusing on only one aspect of the
subject matter.
Apart from repeated canonisation, apart from the rules to valorise a literary work changed
as we go, a re-evaluation of some writers on aesthetic criteria is necessary. These writers were
either pushed on a temporary ascending orbit, often in opposition with their fragile work, or, on
the contrary, in spite of building their valuable work, they could not (or even did not want to)
impose themselves in the forefront of the literary scene, and their work was received
incompletely or distorted.
Alice Botez is part of the last category. A writer characterised by a remarkable discretion,
a writer who in only 16 years (between 1968, the year of her debut in volume, and 1984, the year
of the last novel published during her lifetime) she managed to reveal a literary work with firm
internal coherence and personal approaches of the great themes of human existence.
In this work we have reconstructed the main points of a special biography, developed on
historic, social, political and cultural contextual levels belonging to very different eras. The
spiritual profile of Alice Botez, her development at Nae Ionescu’s and Criterion’s school, her
tendency towards metaphysics, sinuous professional path, the links to important people in the
interwar period and the undeserved shaded area she entered after WWII until her death, the late
debut and fragmented reception of her work, these are a few elements of a personality who
would have been a strong and distinct voice in the concert of the Romanian literature in a
different context.
We have tried with our research to keep a dual look, oscillating between inside and
outside, not fixed in one (single) point of view: “The complete criticism may not be the one
aiming for totality (as the look from above), nor the one aiming for intimacy (as does the
identification intuition); it is a look which knows how to ask in turns for over-elevation and
shyness, knowing beforehand that the truth does not lie in one attempt or the other, but in the
movement which relentlessly leads from one to the other”. (Starobinski 1985: 44)

The independence and intransigence of personal opinions, the particular aesthetic
awareness, not giving up on her own system of values, built in time, by concentric cultural
accumulations have all underlined the tendency for isolation which Alice Botez showed starting
with her university studies.
The analysis of the depth layers of her work reveals the openness towards the myth,
towards the intimate fantastic space or, on the contrary, accessible to everybody through
profound knowledge, the preference for paratopy, for the alternation of external focalisation with
internal focalisation. The messages transmitted to the narrator are multiply coded through an
agglomeration of discursive strategies. The significant and abundant details do not act to
interrupt the narration rhythm, but to create a context favourable to understanding in order to
counterattack the overwhelming tensions of history.
The narrator, auto diegetic, hetero-diegetic or homo-diegetic (DSL 2001: 336), models
the narrative and acts a centraliser (in the first two cases), being a major factor of cohesion and
bringing around it the space, the time and the other characters.
The work of Alice Botez is one of weights without relief, of abandonment to total
dissolution which breaks all ascending surges of identities on the verge of dissolution. The
apparent contradictions of the text are decoded in the light of the special relation between the
language and the world (“The language is linked to the world, but not in the way a mirror is
linked to the image it reflects, but the way the light is to what it makes visible” – Picon 1981:45),
the world seen as a construct of multiple reflecting surfaces.
Space-time thus becomes an image or an idea, and the characters are nothing else but the
actors who combine the mirrors in infinite versions. The narrative chronology derives from the
endless combination possibilities and loses its linearity.
Intertextuality is one of the strong characteristics of Alice Botez’s creation, either
implicit, or by references and insertions, or, in most cases, explicit in oversized notes and
profound commentaries, all indicating an exhaustive documentation on the subject.
The discursive, narrative or dramatic strategies give the text an authentic modernity,
which resists in time, the polygonal structured stories inviting the reader to multiple discoveries.

We consider that our undertaking has reached its purpose, the paper reconstructing
through methods typical for monographic research the biographic and literary profile of a creator
for whom art “is a mask which offers less than it promises: vague emergence from the locks of
language, life springs as an indispensable compromise while it dissimulates its reason for being:
the image of the self, the inaccessible ideal of a perfect autonomy”. (Helbo 1978: 20)
