Summary/Abstract: Deprived of the chance of enjoying his readers with more texts, Max Blecher (19091938) was among the writers widowed of the “... the biographical respite to write, but also of the recognition of his work dimensions.”1 In Blecher’s case Adventures in Immediate Unreality (1936) was framed by critics in various literary genres, but it managed to always elude accurate limitations. He applied the experimentalist principles of conclusions derived from premises. This inclination towards experimentalism, towards inner investigation even of the most morbid corners of suffering both corporal and mental, can be attributed in the case of this writer to the medical studies he had begun but had never had the chance to finish. All his literary work is founded on logics. Therefore, we might conclude that all his writings are a kind of semiotics of human suffering brought to the level of art.
