Transparent Body & Other Texts (Paperback)

Paperback. Transparent Body & Other Texts brings together Blecher's entire output of poetry and short prose, from the earliest texts published during his lifetime to those appearing for the first time only recently. They range from stories in the vein of his fantastical, hallucinatory longer work to aphorisms, reportage, and notebook fragments. The volume also includes a selection of his correspondence with such major figures of Romanian interwar modernism as Geo Bogza, Ilarie Voronca, and Sasa Pana to give a fuller picture of Blecher's engagement with the avant-garde and literary life even as his health was progressively deteriorating over the course of the 1930s. The collection brings together Blecher's entire output of poetry and short prose, ranging from stories in the vein of his fantastical hallucinatory longer work to aphorisms, reportage, and notebook fragments, and includes a selection of his correspondence with other Romanian and French avant-garde artists.
