ARTAUD ANTONIN LAST WRITINGS OF ANTONIN ARTAUD

The last writings of Antonin Artaud published in English and brought together in one edition
for the first time. Artaud spent the last years of his life  from his incarceration in the
psychiatric hospital of Rodez to the last month in freedom until his death in March 1948 
working and writing. This collection includes numerous poems  radio works  texts on his
drawings  vocal improvisations  letters  and fragments  some of which have never or only
partially been published in English. Artaud’s late writings intensify and accumulate the
author’s most urgent preoccupations: the transmutation of the human anatomy into a skeletal
configuration without organs  the imminent threat from malevolent assassins to steal his semen
and kill him  his hatred of psychiatry and all religions and the necessity for a new and
insurgent creation of art  dance  and vocal cacophony.       Including additional new
translations  this issue edited by Stephen Barber finishes the project by American poet and
translator Clayton Eshleman and his collaborators to translate and publish these works in
English in their entirety.       This collected edition includes: Artaud 1937 Apocalypse |
Letters from Ireland  Artaud the Mômo  The Human Face  Radio Works  A Sinister Assassin  Here
Lies |The Indian Culture and Watchfiends and Rack Screams
