Those who are mad like Antonin Artaud, are they just as mad as he
was? Madness, like the plague, is contagious, and everyone, from
his psychiatrists to his disciples, family, and critics, everyone
who gets close to Artaud, seems to participate in his delirium.
Sylvere Lotringer explores various embodiments of this shared
delirium through what Artaud called "mental dramas"-a series of
confrontations with his witnesses or "persecutors" where we uncover
the raw delirium at work, even in Lotringer himself. Mad Like
Artaud does not intend to add one more layer of commentary to the
bitter controversies that have been surrounding the cursed poet's
work since his death in 1948, nor does it take sides among the
different camps who are still haggling over his corpse. This book
speaks of the site where "madness" itself is simmering.
