Asemenea colegului sau de generatie, prozatorul american Philip Roth, devansandu-l
chiar, Radu Cosasu realizeaza in ciclul autobiografic Supravietuiri un

cu adaugiri, precizari de date si nume, comentarii, montaje intertextuale, la
care este anexata o bibliografie ce ilustreaza destinul contorsionat al scriitorului
din Est... (Ion Vartic)

verbal therapy by reliving traumatic events from his childhood and youth. It
is an off-beat brand of literature, because it capitalizes on (re)writing an
autobiography to be resumed in countless versions, with add-ons, specifications
of dates and names, commentaries, inter-textual montages, to which a bibliography
is appended that illustrates the tortuous destiny of a writer from the East...
(Ion Vartic)
