"This highly original, beautifully written, and charming book is vintage Andrei Codrescu. No one else has written anything remotely like it. One is carried along by the author's sheer energy and drive, his good humor, his ability to laugh at himself, and his own truly Dada personality. "The Posthuman Dada Guide" will introduce Dada thinking to a whole new readership."--Marjorie Perloff, author of "The Vienna Paradox" "No other book has treated the relationship between the artistic and revolutionary avant-gardes as originally and provocatively as Codrescu's. This is both an immensely illuminating essay of intellectual history and a disturbing meditation on absolute ideals turned into alibis for tyranny. Magically blending sarcasm and gravity, Codrescu invites us to engage in an emancipatory laughter as an antidote to morose scholasticism and dogmatic obscurantism."--Vladimir Tismaneanu, author of "Stalinism for All Seasons"
A handbook for practical living in posthuman world - all by way of examining the imagined 1916 chess game between Tristan Tzara, the daddy of Dada, and V I Lenin, the daddy of communism.
