Description
Book SynopsisAn existentialist anti-novel by a member of the Romanian literary avant-garde. It demonstrates a commitment to surrealistic aesthetics, and has a clear lack of an obvious plot, minimal development of character, variations of time sequence, and experiments with vocabulary and punctuation.
Trade ReviewHigh metaphysical hilarity from a hitherto unknown master whose work in its strongest moments recalls the best of Beckett, Gombrowicz, and Ionesco." —
Kirkus Reviews"Experiments with style and vocabulary abound, and Zenobia benefits from a lush translation that lets the reader enjoy the language fully." —
Library Journal"Fascinated with surralism or not, any reader would find in Zenobia a rewarding attempt to go beyond the power of words, images, and logic. Like the best in the surrealist tradition, it seeks to narrate the unnarratable and challenges its readers to comprehend the incomprehensible." —
World Literature Today"One of the most exciting experimental fictions produced in Romania in the last fifteen years or so." —Mihai Miroiu
