The editors' preface and their introductions to individual texts offer contextualization and commentary that make the anthology accessible to a wide readership.Edited by Sabine Zelger and Patrick Greaney.

This fantastic collection recalls to mind the premise of all radical avant-gardes-its utopian potential to bridge the distance between art and life. No one can read these writers and remain the same." - Fatima Naqvi, Yale University
