+ Want to read

The collected short and absurdist stories of the Romanian writer "Urmuz", dating from the early years of the twentieth century up until their author's death in 1923. Urmuz's work has been claimed as a forerunner of Dada, and of Surrealism as well, and shows again the sharp sense of the vitality of the avant-garde amongst Romanian practitioners.
