Summary/Abstract: Published in 2016, Matei Vișniec’s novel entitled Shoe-type loves. Umbrella-type loves… reveals an existence as authentic as it is surprising by appealing to a surrealist imaginary. The various themes that Matei Vișniec proposes in the 73 chapters of his novel initially seem to give rise to a unique but fragmented story. As the title suggests, the fragments speak of love, they also talk about death, as any reader notices the cyclic structure of the novel; they are ultimately about theater, because the author offers, by quoting his own characters, at least 100 definitions of the term, and they are also about food, because there is a highly poetic description of French breakfast.
