VIRGIL TĂNASE: FICTION, REALITY, AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Summary/Abstract: Virgil Tănase turns the real world into illusion and the reality into a created dream, using his memories and his autobiographical events. We discover a different world where the frontiers between the real facts and the unreality, between fiction and autobiography, mix and create an illusory universe. As a consequence, his works are dynamic, at all foreseeable. The reader becomes the prisoner of a series of symbols used in order to create a world of absolute lucidity, not of delirium. Real or personal history and lucid dream give birth to rational novels, based on the irrational phenomenon of the dream. The writer’s entire work seems to be a literary puzzle (Apocalipsa unui adolescent de familie, Evenția Mihăescu. Tratatul dumneaei de călătorie exotică la ceasul nunții sale dintr-un secol revolut, Au înflorit iar vișinii și merii, Balurile, Viața terifiantă și misterioasă a unui ucigaș anonim) that has an unprecedented narrative construction, a metaphorical language. All these seem to be illogical, but at the end, the novels prove to be transparent and lucid creations. Apparently without any logic, all the texts are drama-novels that mingle the social underground with the dream, the autobiography with the parallel world.
