Jarry and Me

Résumé du livre

Is this Alfred Jarry finally writing Oakley Hall III's autobiography or the other way around? It reads--magnificently--as both at the same time, thus as another instance of that hidden wisdom: we are never only one, but always the occasion of many.

Maybe it is Ubu himself fondling the hen, I mean holding the pen? Was there ever pathos in Pataphysics?

If not, here it is: one bridge further, Oakley Hall III is at it again, biosplicing his & Jarry s life in the theater and Jarry and his theater in life.

You are hereby introduced into the Hall of Post-Pataphysics.

-- Prof. Pierre Joris, author of Poasis and A Nomad Poetics
