Description

Tarr is a scathing satire of national and social pretensions, set against the backdrop of Paris before the First World War. The novel tells the blackly comic story of two artists, Frederick Tarr and Otto Kreisler, as they navigate their relationships with two women: Bertha Lunken and Anastasya Vasek. Wyndham Lewis's exploration of the fraught relationship between men and women, and the incompatibilities of art and life, is placed in the context of social satire and the avant-garde movements of the 1910s. Scott W. Klein's introduction provides valuable insights into the novel's significance within this artistic landscape. This edition features Lewis's Preface to the 1918 American edition, comprehensive notes, a glossary of foreign words and phrases, and a map of Paris.
