Here, sprawling hospitals give way to travelling circuses and underground jazz clubs, and Cartarescus childhood, prehistory and visionary fever dreams are woven into the landscape of the city, haunted by secret police and zombie hoards. Part visceral dreammemoir, part phantasmic pilgrimage, Mircea Cartarescus Blinding is one of the most widely heralded literary sensations in contemporary Romania, and a fascinating, kaleidoscopic journey into the past. | Mircea Cartarescu Blinding: The Left Wing Paperback Book
