| Rezumat: | The Romanian author Max Blecher suffered from spinal tuberculosis (Pott’s disease). His works Corpul transparent (Transparent Body, 1934), Întâmplări în irealitatea imediată (Adventures in Immediate Unreality, 1936), Inimi cicatrizate (Scarred Hearts, 1937), and Vizuina luminată: Jurnal de sanatoriu (The Lit Up Burrow: A Sanatorium Journal, 1971), along with a series of articles, essays, short fictions and letters, form a homogenous and rich imagery in which illness acts as the canvas for the dismantlement of the puzzle of life and the fragmentation of speech. The illness experience represents for Max Blecher an identity revealer and in the same time a modulator for the narrative voice: faced with a tragic diagnosis the author refuses to be just a passive instance as a patient and he also assumes an active role as a “film director” of his own life in his writings where he can go beyond recording his experiences by processing them through the filter of unreality. |
