Forlagsbeskrivelse af Blinding af Mircea Cartarescu
‘We exist between the past and future like the vermiform body of a butterfly, in between its two wings’ Beneath the streets of communist Bucharest linger hidden passageways, lost to memory. Here, sprawling hospitals give way to travelling circuses and underground jazz clubs, and Cartarescu’s childhood, prehistory and visionary fever dreams are woven into the landscape of the city, haunted by secret police and zombie hoards. Part visceral dream-memoir, part phantasmic pilgrimage, Mircea Cartarescu’s Blinding is one of the most widely heralded literary sensations in contemporary Romania, and a fascinating, kaleidoscopic journey into the past. ‘We exist between the past and future like the vermiform body of a butterfly, in between its two wings’ Beneath the streets of communist Bucharest linger hidden passageways, lost to memory.
