Yale University Press, 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. Clean unmarked pages, slight creasing to upper and lower edges of jacket. A well-kept copy. In this volume, Jonathan Hammer offers a translation of Hugo Ball's visionary novella "Tenderenda the Fantast", along with his own "Tenderenda"-inspired images.

Jeffrey Schnapp introduces the book, elaborating the cultural and historical context of Ball's work and situating Hammer's work in relation to Dada. In a concluding essay, Hammer probes various aspects of Ball's asceticism, spirituality and sexuality to arrive at a revisionist interpretation of Zurich Dada and the origins of… Read More
