Editorial Reviews
"DADA was a wind from the East, an ironic jubilation of Nothingness that swept away a world that had begun to age. Tom Sandqvist's book casts new light on what happened when several young, world-weary Romanians stepped onto the stage, among them Tristan Tzara, Dada impresario and central protagonist of Dada East. Even if apocryphal, the image of Tzara and Lenin squaring off over a chessboard as two revolutions were taking form couldn't be more emblematic of the twentieth century."
