Beskrivning

This is thefirst-ever English language anthology of zenithism, an eclectic avant-gardemovement unique to the Yugoslav region that existed 1921–1927. Zenithism’sfounder Ljubomir Micić envisioned the movement as a fusion of futurism, dada,constructivism, expressionism, and proto-surrealism, driven by what he calledthe “barbarogenius.” A hallmark of the movement was its embrace of cross-genrewriting, from Ljubomir Micić’s ciné-poem RescueVehicle and Branko Ve Poljanski’s lyric novel 77 Suicides to MID’s lyric philosophic treatise The Sexual Equilibrium of Money. Thezenithists promoted their ideas through their journal Zenit and press Biblioteka Zenit. Reaching American readers for thefirst time, this anthology sheds light on an untapped chapter in Europeanmodernism ideal for the general and academic reader alike.

Recensioner i media

“The editors and translators of this volume—barbarogeniuses every one—bring to life the zany revolutionary spirit and exuberance of Zenithism. The anthology is a feast of energy and creativity.”– Ellen Elias-Bursać, Literary Translator and Independent Scholar
