Description
Antonin Artaud's "Here Lies" preceded by "The Indian Culture" presents two pivotal works from his final period. Written in 1936, after his release from psychiatric hospital and return to Paris, these poems reflect the turmoil of his life and the intense protests surrounding his work's censorship. This bilingual edition brings together two works that showcase Artaud's unique blend of linguistic invention and ferocious expression. The first, "The Indian Culture", delves into his experiences in Mexico, while the second, "Here Lies", is a final declaration of autonomy for his own body. Translated by award-winning translator Clayton Eshleman, this edition also features a contextual afterword by Stephen Barber and new material previously untranslated into English. For the first time since its initial publication, these two works are presented together in one volume, as Artaud originally intended.
