Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Walter Serner's first story collection, published in German in 1921, brought to narrative form the philosophy of his earlier Dada manifesto/handbook, Last Loosening: A Handbook for the Con Artist and Those Who Wish to Be One life is a con job and demands the skills of a swindler. With its depiction of a world of appearances in which nothing can be trusted, At the Blue Monkey helped establish the ex-doctor and renounced Dadaist as a literary Maupaussant of crime and offers in this first English translation 33 stories of criminals, con artists and prostitutes engaged in varieties of financial insolvency, embezzlement, sexual hijinks, long and short cons, and dalliances with venereal diseases and drugs.Told in a baroque, sometimes baffling poetry of underworld slang in an urban world of bars and rent-a-rooms, these short tales are presented to the reader like so many three-card Montes in which readers come to realize too late that they may well themselves be the literary mark.Walter Serner (1889 1942) helped found the Dada movement and embodied its most cynical and anarchic aspects. After breaking with the movement, he began publishing crime stories and the 1925 novel The Tigress. Moving constantly across Europe, he eventually disappeared and was rumored to have vanished into the criminal milieu he wrote about; in fact he had returned to Czechoslovakia, married and become a schoolteacher. In 1942, he and his wife presumably died after being moved from a concentration camp, his books banned and burned by the Nazis.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Haas, Leo (illustratore). Paperback. When Bichette, the eponymous Tigress and uncrowned queen of Paris prostitutes, meets the grifter Fec, the unbelievable seems to happen: she is "tamed" and falls head over heels for him -- and he for her. This sets off a dangerous game that spirals toward wild escalation in the luxury hotels and casinos of the French Riviera before reaching its grotesque culmination in Montmartre. The nihilism and invented personas recall Serner's engagement with Dada as nothing anyone says or does can be taken at face value. Everything becomes a con, and love the greatest con of all. Responding to initial attempts to ban The Tigress for its erotic content and demimonde patois by having it placed on a list of "trash and smut writings," many well-known authors, such as Alfred Doeblin, wrote testimonials in support of it. When Bichette, the eponymous Tigress and uncrowned queen of Parisian prostitutes, meets the grifter Fec, this sets off a dangerous game that spirals toward wild escalation in the luxury hotels and casinos of the French Riviera before reaching its grotesque culmination in Montmartre. Everything becomes a con, and love the greatest con of all. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
