Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-30 00:00:00 Marquita Sheats Great read. Too mad for the timid Surrealists, too mad for Ireland, France, the Movies, the theater, he picks up where De Nerval stopped. Artaud was associated with Lacan and Bataille, which really shows his influence.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-10-21 00:00:00 Roberto Gonzalez This is a very good introduction to the mad creative and totally awesome Antonin Artaud, but what is needed is a much more huge bio on this guy. I am not even sure if there is a big bio on Artaud in French. Nevertheless we have to start somewhere and this is a good place than anywhere else. Also the author Stephen Barber has written better books than this one. His study on Jean Genet is excellent. I got the feeling that he wrote this Artaud bio fast for publication. But it's good for reference, but please someone out there do a huge research on this writer/actor/drama genius - and make a great $35 biography!
