Absurd discourse in Max Blecher’s prose

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at identifying one particularity of Max Blecher’s work, as form of the innocent comic. Taking over Marian Popa’s statement – the absurd materializes as the reverse of the pragmatics’ logic – there will be a selection of passages whose linguistic foundation is nonsense and which are representative of Max Blecher’s prose. First of all, this paper analyses an episode from Întâmplări în irealitatea imediată that captures the imaginary dialog between the narrator-character and Ozy in Weber house, where the absurd comic materializes in a ludic note. Second of all, some behavioural aspects of the characters in all Blecher’s novels that betray the absurdity of existence will be taken into consideration: the act of kneeling down in the garden of an unknown woman, the moment of Emanuel leaving Solange, the image of the invalid harlequin. To sum up, the analysis of Blecher’s discourse will reveal both the lucidity of language and the ontological intensity, as complementary manifestations of the absurd comic.
