(P/B) SELECTED WRITINGS

Παρουσίαση

A revolutionary figure in the literary avant garde of his time, Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) is now seen to be central to the development of post-modernism. His writings comprise verse, prose poems, film scenarios, a historical novel, plays, essays on film, theater, art, and literature, and many letters. Susan Sontag's selection conveys the genius of this singular writer. (From the publisher)
