Scope and Contents

Book blurb: Pataphysics may be best known as the occupation of a murder victim in the Beatles' song, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". We learn that "Joan was quizzical studied pataphysical science in the home Late night all alone with a test tube oh, oh-oh-oh." Alfred Jarry, who probably founded the Dada movement as well as the Theater of the Absurd, invented the science of imaginary solutions around the close of the nineteenth century. Pataphysica collects the thoughts of contemporary pataphysicists, pataphysicians, and scholars. They awaken the discipline for our century while writing on subjects as diverse as the Theater of Pure Form, baseball, minute measurement, laughter, language, and the infinite sphere.This book references Davis Daniels' work at the Sackner web site. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
