“Under Gaslight, Lying Dreams Gleamed Everywhere . . .”
Existential Verse Novel with Musical Notation
“… is unique, heart-wrenching, enlightening, and thought-provoking.
It is a personal and intimate journey that can change the readers’
perspectives on life.” — Susan Violante, Reader Views, 5-Star Review
Variations on Tzara is an existential verse novel with musical notation, written as a dialogue with Tristan Tzara’s L’Homme approximatif.
Composed of fifty-one interconnected poetic movements, the book follows a solitary Pilgrim through a sequence of inner landscapes known as the Seven Heavens — spaces where memory, identity, language, and freedom are continually tested.
Rather than offering a linear narrative, the work unfolds through poetic fragments, shifts of voice, and symbolic encounters. Childhood experience, inherited trauma, love, spiritual ascent, and the struggle to distinguish truth from illusion form a dense yet accessible architecture. The text deliberately balances lyrical intensity with moments of stark concreteness, allowing the metaphysical to emerge from everyday reality.
Variations on Tzara belongs to a poetic approach the author calls new suprarealism: an existential continuation of surrealism grounded in physical, psychological, and spiritual reality. Its typographic structure follows principles of musical notation — pauses, bar-like divisions, and rhythmic breaks shape the act of reading in the same way notation shapes performance.
This is not a book that seeks answers.
It is a book for readers willing to remain present inside questions — and to follow language where it opens paths rather than conclusions.
