Virgil Tănase - Povestirile unui exilat revoltat

Abstract

Virgil Tănase does nothing but “voluptuously experiment with the diversity of the egos of his
psychological world. The scenes, moments, and paintings are narratively fixed around states of psychosis,
around obsessions that have internally marked his existence”. [1] The oneiric text emerged as a form of
resistance to literature enslaved to the communist doctrine, and the artist’s dream, idealistic and
surrealist, is built from a succession of real stories pierced by fictional worlds.The author multiplies
symbols in his writing and the confusion of narrative voices, bringing to the fore the great themes of loss,
identity, exile and memory. Identity metamorphoses, self-reflexivity, sharp lucidity, and language games
are characteristic of the oneiric author, who manifests his resilience through writing.
