With each chapter embodying a separate Commandment, Living Tissue,
10x10 is both a Decalogue and a ribald, exuberant, deliriously
inventive postmodern Decameron, which covers four decades in the
life of the protagonist, unfolding against the backdrop of Soviet
and post-communist Moldova, from the untimely death of Yuri Gagarin
in 1968 to the so-called "twitter revolution" of 2009. Tens of
tragical, comical, fantastical, historical tales intertwine,
punctuated by the endless upheavals suffered by twentieth-century
Moldova. But the narrative also takes euphoric flight, in episodes
that travel as far afield as Paris, Moscow, and Tibet. In Living
Tissue. 10x10, Emilian Galaicu-Pa un engages in literary origami,
bending and blending together real and fictional worlds, abolishing
up and down, here and there, past and present, as if in an Escher
engraving, alternating narrative techniques, braiding myth, history
and literary allusion, transgressing the boundaries of languages
and cultures to create a rapturously intricate novel in ten
dimensions.
