The author classifies into four well-distinguished categories the literary legacy of dictatorship: a) the first, is that part of literature wholly dedicated to propaganda, which is nominated in the paper socrealistic pseudoliterature, b) the second, is the part rejected and negated by the communist state, where offending terms abound, and in this part are included all that writers of value, e.g. Fishta, Koliqi, Konica, Kuteli, Camaj, Trebeshina, Zorba, Shllaku, Xhagjika, Prennushi. This is the biggest part, c) the third, called the alienation from traditional Albanian literature, comprises the authors who for a lot of reasons, could not be wholly rejected, but whose work was instead mercilessly crippled by censure. The fourth, has to do with the insane selection of world literature, and can be named the provincialisation of culture. The author proceeds in trying to present a methodical pattern in order to examine the above mentioned legacy, and inverting the principles of realistic socialism literature, proposes some new ones of his own, to preserve what is of value and to found a new, true Albanian literature.
