Antonin Artaud Reviews
Fascinating absorbing a penetrating study! * Saturday Review *
This is a book which is essential to a deeper knowledge of Antonin Artaud's work Too much emphasis has been placed on the sensational aspects of his own life dramatization, on his madness. At last Dr. Bettina Knapp has given us a balanced analysis, interpretation and biography of Artaud, blending her familiarity with French literature, French theater with an acute psychological insight and a woman's natural gift for interrelating the work and the human being, thus bringing us closer to his inferno with more empathy
