London: Creation Books, 2003 Antonin Artaud’s 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 story’s 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.

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 Artaud’s 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 Artaud’s extreme life. Artaud’s 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 Artaud’s life have been unknown such as his journey to Ireland, from which he returned in a straitjacket and Barber finally illuminates those mysteries. Artaud’s 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)
