Alfred Jarry: A Pataphysical Life / Brotchie, Alastair., 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-55644-9999244
Scope and Contents The number of copies refers to the soft cover book (supplement) & the slipcase). Both books are heavily illustrated.Dust Jacket: When Alfred Jarry died in 1907 at the age of thirty-four, he was a legendary figure in Paris--but this had more to do with his bohemian lifestyle and scandalous behavior than his literary achievements. A century later, Jarry is firmly established as one of the leading figures of the artistic avant-garde. Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco, Gilles Deleuze, Jean Baudrillard, Philip K. Dick, Paul McCartney, DJ Spooky, Peter Greenaway, and J. G. Ballard are among his many admirers. A community of scholars and artists maintain a posthumous dialogue with Jarry's ideas through the College de 'Pataphysique in Paris (named after the "science of imaginary solutions" he conceived), while a steady stream of books on twentieth-century drama pay tribute to his absurd and grotesque play, Ubu Roi. Even so, most people today tend to think of Jarry only as the author of that...

Calligraphic Decorated Cubic Box displayed in Jarry E La Patafisica Exhibition (1983) / Sanesi, Roberto., 1983

 Item
Identifier: CC-59606-65096
Scope and Contents The Sackner attended the Pataphsica exhibition where this work was displayed. The Guardian February 12, 1970, Mel Godding obituary: "Roberto Sanesi, who has died aged 70, was one of the most remarkable Italian writers of his generation. A highly accomplished and prolific poet, he was capable of working in a great variety of metrical forms, and was a master of free verse. His poetry, always imbued with a certain intellectuality, ranged extensively from the confessional and anecdotal to the philosophical and metaphysical, and he could shift register with extraordinary skill, from the lyrical to the factual to the speculative, within the bound of a single poem. In this respect he had learned much from TS Eliot and Ezra Pound, whose formal diversities and virtuoso uses of poetic impersonality he adapted with great originality to his own purposes in Italian.
