Antonin Artaud

A new, critical biography of enigmatic French theorist, writer, actor and artist Antonin Artaud.

Description

In this biography of one of the twentieth century's most enigmatic personalities and idiosyncratic thinkers, David A. Shafer takes readers on a chronological voyage through Artaud's life.

Yet, as Artaud navigated through the first half of the century in the company of many of France's most influential cultural figures, his own journey was a lonely and largely isolated one, an existential ellipsis.
