M. Blecher's three novels exemplify the literature of suffering - in an existential sense: the author had also practiced through Kierkegaardian readings. Events in the immediate immediacy (1935), which is composed of memories of adolescence, is a novel of original suffering, of nightmarish dreams, of wandering through unclean matter; Inimi cicatrizate (1936), a novel of the suffering imposed by illness, of the cloistering of bodies in plaster corsets; Vizuina luminata (posthumous, 1971), the novel of bliss through decomposition and degradation.
