For the centenary of Dada, Martin Mittelmeier (b. 1971), known for his biographies of iconic modernist figures (Thomas Mann, Theodor W. Adorno), has written a paradoxical history of Dadaism. In imitation of the style of the most provocative avant-garde movement, the author assembles a collage of events, locations, and devices that stitch together a farcical history of Dada. Paradoxes lurk at every turn: how Dadaism proved to be the most short-lived yet influential movement; how Hugo Ball, from a café chantant accompanist, became a carnival prophet and Catholic thinker; how Dada managed to create a language that denies the very possibility of language. The book is full of exotic facts and new collisions, allowing one to experience Dadaism in the 21st century as an eternally "childish," timeless artistic phenomenon.
