The Monk
|
|
|
London: Creation Books, 2003. Antonin Artauds simulacrum of The Monk is the only work of sustained fiction by the infamous literary terrorist. Taking Matthew Gregory Lewis's gothic novel of 1794 as the starting point for an astonishing exploration of the far edges of death, sexuality and terror, Artaud conducted an evisceration of the original novel, discarding entire chapters, recreating others and stamping his own distinctive identity on the work in his avowed aim to accentuate the storys violence and atrocity to the maximal degree. In Artaud's The Monk, sexual obsession is irrepressibly crushed together with murder, cruelty and blasphemy. The result is a searing document of lust and fear which will push the reader's sensorial pleasure beyond the point of no return. Best known for his Theatre of Cruelty manifestoes, Surrealist film projects and corporeal poetry, Artaud created The Monk in France in 1931, to the acclaim of such figures as Jean Cocteau, at a time when Artaud's explicit purpose in his work was to cancel out all existing social and moral systems. This is the first time ever that the book has appeared in English. With an introduction by Stephen Barber (author, Artaud: The Screaming Body and Artaud: Blows & Bombs). A great masterpiece of fantastic literature.. marvels burst out at the reader, burning with a thousand fires.. the spirit of the marvellous inflames this book to the very core. André Breton. This work of Artaud is that of an alchemist, an evil angel. The Monk is an epic of blood, plague and death, sorcery and poison blazes and ravages us. Jean Cocteau.. First English Edition. Paperback.

Blows and Bombs: Antonin Artaud The Biography
|
|
|
London: Creation Books, 2003. The definitive biography, by the world authority on Antonin Artaud, is the first ever to have been written about this legendary figure of 20th century culture. Spanning Artauds involvement with the Surrealist movement in 1920s Paris, his seminal Theatre of Cruelty in the 1930s, and his nine-year asylum incarceration and final period of drug-ravaged freedom in the 1940s, Blows and Bombs gives a vivid and potent portrait of Artauds extreme life. Artauds influence has been colossal, extending from the Beat movement to punk, from the revolutionary theatre movements of the 1960s to contemporary digital media. For the first time, this biography gives readers the opportunity to trace the entire development of his inspirational work. Many parts of Artauds life have been unknown such as his journey to Ireland, from which he returned in a straitjacket and Barber finally illuminates those mysteries. Artauds wild life was full of conflict, desperation and drama, and Blows And Bombs presents that multi-faceted existence in all of its fascinating layers. Based on fifteen years of research and on interviews with the people closest to Artaud, this is a unique and compelling biography that will be read for decades to come. Stephen Barber is a noted cultural historian and the leading authority on Antonin Artaud. He is the author of many acclaimed books, including: Burning World, the best-selling biography of Edmund White; Tokyo Vertigo; Caligula: Divine Carnage; and Artaud: The Screaming Body. Blows And Bombs was first published by Faber & Faber in 1993, and is presented here in a new, updated and expanded edition.. First Thus. Paperback. New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Pataphysics: The Poetics of an Imaginary Science
|
|
|
Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 2001. A critical look at the historical and cultural implications of Alfred Jarry's pseudoscience, pataphysics. What Alfred Jarry calls "the science of imaginary solutions," has until now gone largely ignored by literary scholars, due in part to its academic frivolity and hermetic perversity. Nevertheless, this capricious philosophy has inspired nearly one hundred years of avant-garde experimentation. Christian Bok redresses this critical omission by tracing the tangled history of pataphysics, discussing the tension between science and poetics, in order to demonstrate that pataphysics constitutes an intrinsic, but neglected, cornerstone of postmodernity itself. Bok examines the work of Jarry, arguing that it represents a humorous addendum to the philosophy of Nietzsche, while also considering the influence of 'pataphysics upon the poetic legacy of the twentieth century, particularly the work of Italian Futurists, French Oulipians, and Canadian Jarryites. Bok resorts to the radical poetics of such contemporary philosophers as Delauze, Derrida, Baudrillard, and Serres in order to explicate the 'pataphysical relationship between rationalism and its discontents. Bok draws on a wide range of reading in poetry and theory to establish a firm historical ground for understanding the influence of pataphysics - all the while making a variety of seemingly difficult or obscure material accessible in a surprisingly charming and poetic manner. A long overdue critical look at a significant strain of the twentieth-century avant-garde, his book raises important historical, cultural, and theoretical issues germane to the production and reception of poetry, how we think about it, how we write it, how we read it, and what sorts of claims it makes upon our understanding. Alfred Jarry (September 8, 1873 - November 1, 1907) was a French writer born in Laval, Mayenne, France, not far from the border of Brittany; he was of Breton descent on his mother's side. Best known for his play Ubu Roi (1896), which is often cited as a forerunner to the surrealist theatre of the 1920s and 1930s, Jarry wrote in a variety of genres and styles. He wrote plays, novels, poetry, essays and speculative journalism. His texts present some pioneering work in the field of absurdist literature. Sometimes grotesque or misunderstood (i.e. the opening line in his play Ubu Roi, "Merdre!", has been translated into English as "Shittr!", "Shikt!", and "Pschitt!"), he invented a science called 'pataphysics..

Manchester: Savoy Books, 1984 A special limited edition collection (1,000 copies) of fiction, articles and graphics, and the second in Savoy's planned trilogy of anthologies which commenced with The Savoy Book in 1978. Contains a selection of the letters which Michael Moorcock wrote to J.G. Ballard when the latter was Prose Editor of Ambit magazine, with the drug references left in. The full correspondence sans drug references formed Moorcock's account of his adventures in the movie capital of the world, Letters From Hollywood (Harrap, 1986). Police raids and litigation delayed publication of Savoy Dreams for four years, but on the plus side we were able to include detailed coverage of these raids as well as the 1982 trial and imprisonment of David Britton.

An Unspeakable Betrayal: Selected Writings of Luis Bunuel
|
|
|
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2000. Although Luis Bunuel, one of the great filmmakers of the 20th century, was notoriously reluctant to discuss his own work in public, he wrote on many subjects over the years. This collection proceeds chronologically, from poetry and short stories written in Bunuel's youth in Spain to an essay written in 1980, not long before his death. The writings offer insights into the filmmaker's life and thought. The earliest pieces came well before Bunuel joined the Surrealist movement in Paris and created the landmark film "Un Chien andalou" with Salvador Dali. Yet these and the early Surrealist writings reveal the inventiveness of the mind that would later create such masterpieces of cinema as "L'Age d'or", "Los olvidadoes", "Viridiana", "The Milky Way", "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie", "Belle de Jour" and "That Obscure Object of Desire". Later writings, which include screenplays and reflections on his own and others' films, illuminate many aspects of Bunuel's career, as well as the ways of thinking and perceiving that underlie his cinematic style. The final essay sums up his view of the world at the end of his life. Includes poetry and short stories from Bunuel's youth in Spain and features writings on cinema and aesthetics, including Bunuel's own films, as well as autobiographical writings. Foreword by Jean-Claude Carriere and a new afterword by Juan Luis Bunuel and Rafael Bunuel.. First English Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Meatphysics
|
|
|
London: Creation Books, 2003 MEATPHYSICS IS THE FIRST BOOK BY JAKE CHAPMAN OF THE CHAPMAN BROTHERS. A COMPARATIVE JOURNAL FOR THE BROTHERS AESTHETIC WORK, Meatphysics represents a schizo-analytical assault upon the hyperconscious idiocy of libertarian humanism. An attempt to dislodge critique from its authoritarian edifice by shortcircuiting the compulsion to dialectical reasoning. Instead, Meatphysics encounters its subject deliriously spiralling in and out of phase, merging fiction and theory, and combining a file-corrupting literature-machine that contracts and expands without final cause. Vagrantly purposeless while attempting to exceed the limits of strict utility, Meatphysics proposes a pessimistic model of apathetic repetition - 'a disease within the disease'; an atheological experiment conducted by the death drive, following the pathic route mapped by Freud in his declaration that 'the aim of all life is death'. 'Human apperception is matter-energy tortured - a dyspeptic ulcer cradling the necrotic substance of its irritation. Once the necrosis subsides, irritation deranges away toward zero, signalling perditious brain activity to cease. Amen'. Cover design: Dinos Chapman.. First Paperback Edition. Paperback.

Instead, Meatphysics encounters its subject deliriously spiralling in and out of phase, merging fiction and theory, and combining a file-corrupting literature-machine that contracts and expands without final cause. Vagrantly purposeless while attempting to exceed the limits of strict utility, Meatphysics proposes a pessimistic model of apathetic repetition - 'a disease within the disease'; an atheological experiment conducted by the death drive, following the pathic route mapped by Freud in his declaration that 'the aim of all life is death'. 'Human apperception is matter-energy tortured - a dyspeptic ulcer cradling the necrotic substance of its irritation. Once the necrosis subsides, irritation deranges away toward zero, signalling perditious brain activity to cease. Amen'. Cover design: Dinos Chapman.. First Paperback Edition. Paperback. New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information
