 Here, Expressionist language aims to suggest Aurel's exhausting confrontation with the frantic terrestrial forces.Displaying Aderca's flirtations with the avant-garde, "Aventurile D-lui Ionel Lăcustă-Termidor" is a fantasy work, at once parabolic and sarcastic, read as a poetic expression of its author's own nonconformity.It evades stylistic conventions, rejects linear time, and, as Cubleșan notes, reacts against modern-day depersonalization; in Crohmălniceanu's words, its "extreme" subjectivity and Expressionist techniques create "an entirely autonomous world".
