A Reading of Antonin Artaud's "New Revelations of Being"

From ' Artaud 1937 Apocalypse':


"Antonin Artaud’s journey to Ireland in 1937 marked an
extraordinary—and apocalyptic—turning point in his life and
career. After publishing the manifesto The New Revelations of
Being about the “catastrophic immediate-future,” Artaud abruptly
left Paris for Ireland, remaining there for six weeks without
money. Traveling first to the isolated island of Inishmore off
Ireland’s western coast, then to Galway, and finally to Dublin,
Artaud was eventually arrested as an undesirable alien, beaten by
the police, and summarily deported back to France. On his return,
he spent nine years in asylums, remaining there through the
entire span of World War II.

During his fateful journey, Artaud wrote letters to friends in
Paris which included several “magic spells,” intended to curse
his enemies and protect his friends from the city’s forthcoming
incineration and the Antichrist’s appearance. (To André Breton,
he wrote: “It’s the Unbelievable—yes, the Unbelievable—it’s the
Unbelievable which is the truth.”) This book collects all of
Artaud’s surviving correspondence from his time in Ireland, as
well as photographs of the locations he traveled through.
Featuring an afterword and notes by the book’s translator,
Stephen Barber, this edition marks the seventieth anniversary of
Artaud’s death."
