Hugo Ball--poet, philosopher, novelist, cabaret performer,
journalist, mystic--was a man extremely sensitive to the currents
of his time and carried in their wake. In February 1916 he founded
the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. The sound poems and performance art
by Ball and the other artists who gathered there were the
beginnings of Dada. Ball's extraordinary diaries, one of the most
significant products of the Dada movement, are here available in
English in paperback for the first time, along with the original
Dada manifesto and John Elderfield's critical introduction, revised
and updated for the paperback edition, and a supplementary
bibliography of Dada texts that have appeared since the 1974
hardcover edition of this book.
