Our analysis of Joachim Wittstock's narrative entitled Hades and published thirteen years after the fall of the communist regime in Romania aims at pointing out the intimate connection between socio-political reality and personal experience refl ected by the creative process of turning reality into fi ction by writing. We consider the chosen narrative both as a political and literary statement, refl ecting much of the way of life in Romania during the late 1980s. The narrative may be considered as some kind of withheld fi ction and a pertinent comment of the author as to the role of fi ction in a totalitarian regime.
