He started writing around 1908-09 (around the same period Tristan Tzara himself started writing) and only had his official debut in 1922. So no, he can hardly be considered Romania's Alfred Jarry or something. But he did have a similar influence on many of our avant-garde writers.<br /><br />Anyway, this matters less than the fact Zorn dares to make a homage to Urmuz, as a figure that's still obscure in the larger picture of avant-garde literature and its genealogies. I love that. I don't expect Zorn to sound like how Urmuz's world would sound like me from a sonic point of view, but it doesn't matter either. Zorn, you're awesome!<br /><br />Greetings from Romania,<br />yigru zeltilyigru zeltilhttp://yigruzeltil.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
