'''Description of Artwork:''' While Manea's writing does not criticize the leaders of the communist Romania he lived under directly, he does write about life under the regime. In ''The Black Envelope'', he not only writes on the negative aspects of daily life in contemporary Romania, but makes parallels to between it and Nazi Germany. <P>

'''Results of Incident:''' Menea followed the orders of the censors and had ''The Black Envelope'' published. In late 1986, he emigrated to the United States. Even though he got it published, he considers "The Black Envelope" to be corrupt and now expresses a very pessimistic view of communist censorship. <P>
