About this Item
Octavo. 255 pages. Illustrated with photographic images. Antonin Artaud is 'one of the great, daring mapmakers of consciousness in extremis, ' writes Susan Sontag. 'His work and presence reside on the boundary between being and non-being, art and non-art, reasoning and screaming. He proposes a new mode of thinking and of art--even as he simultaneously proclaims and demonstrates their impossibility.' The writings of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) include verse; prose poems; essays on cinema, art, and literature; diatribes and polemics on the theater; six film scenarios; a historical novel; several plays; and a large number of letters. His work was loved by Allen Ginsburg and the beats but was generally neglected by the academic community until after his death in 1948 and eventually came into serious readings and the references by Jacques Derrida. A very good copy bound in still pictorial paper wraps showing just a bit of rubbing to edges. Seller Inventory # 028843
