Collected Prose
Urmuz
Urmuz ; Alistair Ian Blyth (Oversetter)
The experimental prose written by Urmuz, the pseudonym of Dem. Demetrescu-Buzau (1883- 1923), represents a model for the Romanian
avant-garde movement, anticipating not only the Surrealists' iconoclastic fervor in blowing up all sorts of stereotypes, but also some of the main features of the so called "absurd" theater created
by Eugene Ionesco. Les mer

The experimental prose written by Urmuz, the pseudonym of Dem. Demetrescu-Buzau (1883- 1923), represents a model for the Romanian
avant-garde movement, anticipating not only the Surrealists' iconoclastic fervor in blowing up all sorts of stereotypes, but
also some of the main features of the so called "absurd" theater created by Eugene Ionesco. Like Ionesco, Urmuz has the propensity
towards dissimulating behind an elaborate network of absurd associations and fantastic scenarios the tragic consciousness
of humans' limited existence and of language's limited powers. A look at the literature written by Urmuz proves that the reverse
side of the humorous mode and of the ironic enunciation is the anxiety provoked by the unbearable responsibility of living.
