Description: A Sinister Assassin contains original translations of Antonin Artaud's last writings and interviews most never previously available in English. A Sinister Assassin presents translations of Antonin Artaud's largely unknown final work of 1947 48, revealing new insights into his obsessions with human anatomy sexuality societal power creativity and ill - will notably preoccupations of the contemporary world. Artaud's last conception of performance is that of a dance - propelled act of autopsy generating a body without organs which negates malevolent microbial epidemics. This book assembles Artaud's crucial writings and press interviews from September 1947 to March 1948, undertaken at a decrepit pavilion in the grounds of a convalescence clinic in Ivry - sur - Seine on the southern edge of Paris as well as in - transit through Paris's streets. It also draws extensively on Artaud's manuscripts and original interviews with his friends collaborators and doctors throughout the 1940s illuminating the many manifestations of Artaud's final writings: the contents of his last death - interrupted notebook; his letters; his two final key texts; his glossolalia; the magazine issue which collected his last fragments; and the two extraordinary interviews he gave to national newspaper journalists in the final days of his life in which he denounces and refuses both his work's recent censorship and his imminent death. Edited translated and with an introduction by Stephen Barber A Sinister Assassin illuminates Artaud's last most intensive and terminal work for the first time.
