Max Blecher

Max Blecher was born on 8 September 1909 in Botoșani, the son of a Jewish merchant who kept a porcelain shop, and studied at the Roman-Vodă high school in Roman. Having left in 1928 to study medicine in Paris, he was struck the same year by tuberculosis of the spine, Pott's disease, which forced him to give it up. Treated at Berck-sur-Mer, Leysin and Techirghiol, he remained bedridden in his last years, published in 1934 a collection of poems with the help of Geo Bogza, and corresponded with André Breton and Martin Heidegger. He died in Roman on 31 May 1938.
