Download or read book The Necessary Marriage written by Dumitru Țepeneag and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man lies sleepless in a foul-smelling room while raucous noises come from next door, and women--past and present, real or imagined--pass through his mind. From these few elements, Romanian author Dumitru Tsepeneag builds a dreamlike world both ancient and contemporary, and as mesmerizing as that in his critically acclaimed "Vain Art of the Fugue." Praised by Emil Cioran for its precise and masterly evocation of sensual detail, "The Necessary Marriage" confirms Tsepeneag's position as one of the most important Eastern European writers of the post-communist era.
