Din sentimentul unui dosar incarcat cu injustitii pe care l-ar prezenta literatura, Al. George se exercita mai cu seama in registrul negativ. Intra in joc si, dupa cat se pare, o pornire juvenil-detectivistica, de demonstrare a unor “cazuri” tenebroase, tangenta la vocatia subtilului prozator care vietuieste in aceeasi personalitate cu criticul. Dar in speta domina umoarea celui ce inclina a masura literatura prin prisma unui idealism lezat. (Gheorghe Grigurcu)

Considering that literature is a file filled with injustices, Al. George exercises himself mostly within the negative range. A juvenile-detectivistic streak that prompts him to take up same “dark cases” and is tangential to the vocation of the subtle prose writer coexisting alongside the critic within the same person partially accounts for it too. But, on the whole, the dominant humour is that of a man who tends to measure literature through the eyes of an injured idealism. (Gheorghe Grigurcu)
