Each work goes further and further into Artauds "madness". Of special note are his account of a peyote ceremony in the chapter "Concerning a Journey to the Land of the Tarahumaras". Everytime I watch the movie "Altered States", I think of that piece (even William Hurt's reaction to the mushroom ceremony mirror Artaud's)...and the chapter "The Liquidation of Opium" which contains one of the best quotes in the book: "(And even more), the lost are lost by nature, and all the ideas of moral regeneration won't do anything about it." Lastly, are his poems at the end of Part II: 1943-1948 HERE LIES I, Antonin Artaud, am my son, my father, my mother, my self; leveller of the imbecile periplum rooted to the family tree: the periplum papamummy and infant wee, crud from the ass of granmummy much more than pa and ma. Though the last poems get somewhat incoherent, it's worth the effort. Enjoy! - scorpion , posted 12/15/05 |
