Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reader's Copy of Uncorrected Proof in paperback. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread in FINE condition. "In 1916, as World War I raged around them, a group of bohemians gathered at a small nightclub in Zurich, Switzerland, for a series of bizarre performances. Three readers simultaneously recited a poem in three languages; a monocle-wearing teenager performed a spell from New Zealand; another man flung bits of papier-mache into the air and glued them into place where they landed. One of the artists called these sessions 'both buffoonery and a requiem mass.' Soon they would have a more evocative name: Dada. In DESTRUCTION WAS MY BEATRICE, modernist scholar Jed Rasula presents the first narrative history of the emergence, decline, and legacy of Dada, showing how this strange artistic phenomenon spread across Europe and then the world in the wake of the Great War, fundamentally reshaping modern culture in ways we're still struggling to understand today." Pristine paperback ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, no jacket as issued & that cool cover photo of Hugo Ball reciting his poems at the Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich 1916. Quite presentable, 'gadji beri bimba,' & collectible. Seller Inventory # RUB968
