Artaud, however, was not insane but in luciferian pursuit of what society keeps hidden. The man who wrote \u003cem\u003eVan Gogh the Man Suicided by Society \u003c\/em\u003eraged against the insanity of social institutions with insight that proves more prescient with every passing year. Today, as Artaud's vatic thunder still crashes above the \"larval confusion\" he despised, what is most striking in his writings is an extravagant lucidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection gives us quintessential Artaud on the occult, magic, the theater, mind and body, the cosmos, rebellion, and revolution in its deepest sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"[I]n France his position extends beyond the theater, and indeed beyond any literary genre. Although he seems to have written incessantly in a sort of violent poetic prose which he scattered in all directions, his actual compositions have always been less well known than his personality. His prestige in literary circles depends in the first place on the fact that he was an abnormal individual, totally committed to the expression or exploration of his abnormality and quite oblivious of any of the requirements of ordinary living.\" --\u003cb\u003eJohn Weightman, \u003cem\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"City Lights Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Artaud Anthology | Antonin Artaud | Paperback | 0872860000 | Used: Very Good | Drama 1699665","offer_id":48415097520280,"sku":"1699665","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61HQtmgfbRL.jpg?v=1773328058","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/artaud-anthology","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
