sentences:  By 1945, Creţu argues, Negoiţescu had reached his creative maturity, primarily by perfecting the "deconstruction" of texts making the object of his reviews.In particular, Creţu sees as outstanding the young critic's verdicts on George Călinescu's novel "Enigma Otiliei" (where Negoiţescu had identified, probably ahead of all other commentators, a level of parody running underneath the formal borrowings from Honoré de Balzac) and on the poems of George Bacovia (compared by Negoiţescu to the overall artistic standards of the local Symbolist circles, with which Bacovia had been formally affiliated).Written in parallel, "Povestea tristă a lui Ramon Ocg", described by Ştefănescu as marking Negoiţescu's brief affiliation with Surrealism, romanticizes the life of Mexican film star Ramón Novarro, with emphasis on Navarro's homosexuality.
