It deals with his travels in Mexico in 1936, where Artaud sets aside his usual preoccupations with peyote and the Tarahumara peoples' sorcerers to directly anatomize his obsessions with gods, corporeality, and sexuality. Here Lies is Artaud's final declaration of autonomy for his own body from its birth to its imminent death, won at the cost of multiple battles against the infiltrating powers amassed to steal that birth and death away from him. Both works demonstrate Artaud's final poetry as a unique amalgam of delicate linguistic invention and ferociously obscene invective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Here Lies” preceded by “The Indian Culture” was translated by the award-winning translator Clayton Eshleman, widely seen as the preeminent translator into English of Artaud's work, with its profound intensity and multiply nuanced language. For the first time since its first publication, this bilingual edition presents the two works in one volume, as Artaud originally intended. This edition also features a contextual afterword by Stephen Barber as well as new material, previously untranslated into English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 92g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 121 x 189 x 8 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783035803648\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antonin Artaud,Stephen Barber,Clayton Eshleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095366693114,"sku":"9783035803648","price":8.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646147803728_book.jpg?v=1646910580","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/here-lies-preceded-by-the-indian-culture-9783035803648","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
