Unknown Author

4.9/5 (25297 ratings)

Description:An inveterate experimenter with image and text and music whose work bears the clear influences of Dada, Surrealism, Expressionism, and absurdism, Gerhard Rühm is truly one of the major figures of the postwar European avant-garde. Yet reprehensibly little of his work has appeared in English. This edition brings together a selection of his early work spanning the past seven decades, displaying a wide thematic range (“there is nothing that cannot become part of one’s poetic universe”) and ingenious combinations of motifs such as music, pornography, banality, humor, and mythology. The first section comprises “mini drama” prose, incorporating images and musical scores, sensorial episodes created by a singularly sensual aesthetic perception. The second section is a wry deconstruction of Grillparzer’s play Hero and Leander that juxtaposes original passages with images from a swimming manual and with a more contemporary erotic take on the mythological story. The final section presents 24 short prose pieces: 12 from the early 1950s and 12 from the past few years.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
