No one knows quite how to categorize Max Blecher’s Adventures in Immediate Unreality, in part because it has elements of a novel, a memoir and a long poem. The early 20th century Romanian writer chronicled his own slow death and the effect it had on his senses. At The Paris Review Daily, Andrei Codrescu writes about a reissue of the book.

Like TED for books

Just a friendly notice, Ms. Kiesling. It appears you’ve parsed the link with two ‘http’s in the address. The browser’s showing up a ‘This site cannot be found’ error.
