THIS ARE IT

As can be seen by some of the reviews, this goes waaaaaay over some peoples heads. For others, it changes lives. I am of the latter category, and i will never be the same after having read this book.

This book does not define Dada. It is Dada.

All manifestos are the biographies of feeble and bitter love. Dada is, therefore, an impotent rapist. Still, Tzara is a charming and likable fellow.If you want to know what Dada is, then Dada wants nothing to do with you. Approach this book at your own peril. Dada is against death. Definition is death. This book does not commit murder. Therefore it does not define Dada. It is Dada....

not an academical book if that's what you're looking for

you won't find an explanation of what dada is, simply because it cannot be explained. dada is the anarchism in a french female-boxer soul. is an excellent literary book. not a college research book.

DADA mucht gut! Tzara--boomboom himmel!

MMMMMMMMMMM plastic fishy. Tzara lights yer neighbor's curtain on fire. Yummy blasphemy, beautiful bedroom eyes darting with paranoia all around a crowded room. Devilish leer, "small and dark", this is IT.
