review 1: Codrescu strikes just the right tone, like a flower growing in hell, for this retrospective on Dada. If ye wish to live well without being wealthy then this guide — equal parts history, philosophy, and art — may be right for you.I've lent this book to two friends so far. The results have been mixed: 1) "Please don't lend me any more books" and 2) "I kept laughing out loud while reading it!". Both reactions were pleasing to me.
review 2: This is a small book that provides a lot of information and good reading. The author, Andrei Codrescu, has created a book that traces the history of the Dada Non-Art Movement from its beginnings during WWI to the present. But it is also a work of sardonic humor following its themes across almost an entire century. The autho... morer shows how Dada, which eschewed the future and art, had the unintended impact of begetting all manner of art movements, from Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism to the literary style wrongly known as "post-modernism" -- Vonnegut, Barth, Heller, Barthelme, etc. In the end, Codrescu assures us, art can remain a redemptive force in a world in which the Posthuman has overtaken all other movements and philosophies. As we watch our world steadily become digitized, the general stance of Dada might be exactly what we need. less
