The life of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) was tormented by physical
and mental illnesses. Already in his earlier works, Artaud tried to
express his physical and mental suffering, but perceived, in
describing his feelings, the obstructive and illness-inducing role
of language. This is the first book written in English that
analyses the role of a healing language with which Artaud engaged
in his later writings. Joeri Visser guides us through the years in
which Artaud suffered increasingly from mental instability and
considered the act of writing his only means of survival. In doing
so, Visser unfolds a literary and a philosophical analysis of how
language and life work together and how a creative play with
language can help us to reengage sustainably with the joyous as
well as the terrible forces of life.
