Zenobia
Zenobia | Gellu Naum
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
A full-length novel by a member of the Romanian literary avant-garde, Zenobia is the evocation of the singular quest of a Surrealist knight-errant who strives to be true to the gentle demands of his lady in a landscape of snares, desolation, incipient madness, and material poverty magically interrupted by moments of extreme beauty. Love, in all its intimate, carnal communion, lights the path through the dark forest, the streets of Bucharest, and the desert swamps. The narrator, speaking from the depths of love and despair, invites the reader to share his quest.

Pickpick

Gellu Naum is a Romanian avant-garde writer and founder of the Romanian Surrealist group. This novel was published in 1985.
With stream of consciousness and hyperrealism, he achieves a beautiful and poetic philosophical prose, centered on Zenobia as the main character, his beloved wife and muse, "an incarnation of the Woman Spirit that alternately seduces him, sustains him, and scares him half to death."
