Hugo Ball Book order

"A key document. . . . Indispensable for an understanding of the beginnings of the Dada movement and Dada in Zurich."—Rudolf Kuenzli, Director, International Dada Archive "In Flight Out of Time one can follow Dada's unfolding and expansion almost day-by-day."—Charles Haxthausen, coeditor, Berlin: Culture and Metropolis

The German contribution to the Dada movement, this collection brings together three texts, translated into English for the first time, which were essential for the very inception of the movement and which influenced its future development. Included is the only Dada novel, Tenderanda the Fantast, by the movement's founder, Hugo Ball.

"This first English-language translation shows that Ball's thinking was marred by a hitherto unacknowledged anti-Semitism. This edition, in restoring passages excised from the original edition, reveals that the anti-Semitism of that text was not merely an embarrassment but an integral part of Ball's rejection of the war, the German Revolution, and the nationalist elite of the late Wilhelminian era."--BOOK JACKET.
