Occupied City

Unpaginated. "First published in 1921 as a work of "rhythmical typography," this collection is Belgian author van Ostaijen's most important work. It is one of the key works of the Dadaist movement and is primarily about the German Occupation of Antwerp during the First World War. But it is also a love-song to the modern city, and a declaration of war on post-1918 Europe. Van Ostaijen (1896-1928) was one of the most original & influential Belgian writers of the 20th century. This edition was designed by Katy Mawhood."
