Description

Black-white-red Grotesques by Mynona is a collection of six bizarre tales that satirize various aspects of society. Written under the pseudonym Mynona, these stories blend elements of fairy tale, fetishism, and philosophy to create a unique and humorous narrative. The book brings together two seemingly opposing worldviews: Goethe's theory of color and Newton's scientific approach. This clash is reflected in a nationalistic flag, where the colors are used to satirize nationalism. Other tales, such as "The Magic Egg," present inventive and absurd scenarios that challenge conventional thinking. Mynona's work is characterized by its dark humor and absurdist tone, which was characteristic of his literary style. This collection offers a glimpse into the mind of a unique individual who inhabited the margins of German Expressionism and Dada.
