Often called “the Kafka of Romania, ” Max Blecher died young but not before creating this incandescent novel.
Adventures in Immediate Irreality, the masterwork of the Romanian writer Max Blecher, vividly paints the crises of ‘irreality’ that plagued him in his youth: eerie and unsettling mirages wherein he would glimpse future events. In gliding chapters that move with a peculiar dream logic of their own, this memoiristic novel sketches the tremulous, frightening, and exhilarating awakenings of a young man.
