This collection brings together three essential texts from the Zurich Dadaists, translated into English for the first time, which influenced all its future development in Paris, Berlin, New York and other countries. Included in "Tenderenda the Fantast," the ONLY Dada novel, by the movement's founder, Hugo Ball--a roman à clef recounting the birth of Dada and the author's subsequent love-hate relationship with his monstrous creation. Richard Huelsenbeck's "Fantastic Prayers" was the first Dada poetry collection, and these precious "Brutist" poems illustrate how the absurd elements in early expressionism evolved into the bizarre eloquence of Dada. Finally, Walter Serner's "Last Loosening Manifesto," the first major German manifesto written in Zurich, was the source for many of Tzara's future literary provocations and was deliberately suppressed for this reason.
