| Abstract: | This paper aims at bringing to the foreground, in the eyes of the readers, a genuine and valuable writer only seldom mentioned in literary or theatrical performances reviews. Going back in time, one finds a young apprentice of the mysteries of literature, who succeeds, through craftsmanship, in the 1960s-1970s, to enter a puberal literary paradise, grown step by step by its dwellers through their harmoniously carved letters and through their profound senses. In this artistic refuge, known as Oneirism, Virgil Tănase has lived throughout the last three decades. Virgil Tănase’s literature deals with life, ideas, hopes, with people escaped in the West from the burden of the totalitarian system. In his writings, Virgil Tănase reveals a deliberate will to break all the patterns, an unabated resoluteness to evade all the pre-established obligations in what meaning is concerned. In drama or prose, Virgil Tănase conceals another of his faces, mirroring it in his own way, by portraying a sensitive and dreamy character, one that is also sensible, rebellious and emancipated. Virgil Tănase weaves his narratives strategically, rigorously and, at the same time, as if they were complex musical compositions with interfering leitmotifs. Internal and external exile, harmoniously combined, have fertilised the themes of Virgil Tănase’s prose. |
