Over the course of his long career, Nathaniel Tarn has been a poet,
anthropologist, and book editor, while his travels have taken him
into every continent. Born in France, raised in England, and
earning a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, he knew Andre
Breton, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Margot Fonteyn, Charles
Olson, Claude Levi-Strauss, and many more of the twentieth
century's major artists and intellectuals. In Atlantis, an
Autoanthropology he writes that he has "never (yet) been able to
experience the sensation of being only one person." Throughout this
literary memoir and autoethnography, Tarn captures this
multiplicity and reaches for the uncertainties of a life lived in a
dizzying array of times, cultures, and environments. Drawing on his
practice as an anthropologist, he takes himself as a subject of
study, examining the shape of a life devoted to the study of the
whole of human culture. Atlantis, an Autoanthropology prompts us to
consider our own multiple selves and the mysteries contained
within.
