Jan Faktor etablierte in den 1980er Jahren ein Zentrum der unabhängigen Literaturszene der DDR. Durch sein schriftstellerisches Schaffen bereicherte er sie, er intervenierte zeitgenössisch aber auch gegen ihre Konventionen. Jan Faktors Vorlass in der Akademie der Künste hilft heute, die unabhängige Literaturszene der DDR, ihre Bindungskräfte wie auch ihre Grenzen besser zu verstehen.
