Bebuquin

"...Bebuquin's body disappeared in the shadows with just the head staring at the sinking cloud, the head the colour of twilight. His head, a cooling star."The first single volume English language translation of this seminal German expressionist novel, with an extensive introduction by Patrick Healy.“The grotesque in the psychological realm opened the real, the domain of succession and simultaneity. It could even generate figures, through the transpersonal that resulted from the creation of the meta-object, a prose work; thus, the dilettante, the narcissus, the snob, in their sterility generate the search for the creative in the text itself. The grotesque contains, as Ruskin once observed, the ludicrous and the fearful. Bebuquin is grotesque even in the name, invented, childish, absurd.”
