Difficult. beautiful, underappreciated genius,
By Chris Trent ltlspoon@aol.com (Los Angeles, California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary (Paperback)
Long before the beat movement or the hippies comes such a beautiful work from one of the most honest and daring individuals to ever live and then be forgotten in this world. The title says it best. Hugo Ball is probably the most important guide (in my life). You should read this and see if any of it rubs off on you.

A great book...,
By C. S. Cross - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary (Paperback)
A great book that no one has heard of. I like his writing style and the idea of the dada movement in general. His anti-establishment stance is great as he plays devil's advocate throughout the book questioning whether the state/system can really be abolished. Great mind around at a great period in history.
