The posthuman dada guide: Tzara & Lenin play chess- Andrei codrescu

Filed under: new reads ::

This a clever manifesto putting Dada rightly as one of the prime inspirations of modern theatre, art, poetry, and anti(political) actions.  Codrescu contrasts the radical urges of Tzara and Lenin and makes a compelling argument that dada has lasted longer than communist theory as a source of creative energy.  A book that I bought instead of just checking out.
