Huelsenbeck's memoirs bring to life the concerns—intellectual, artistic, and political—of the individuals involved in the Dada movement and document the controversies within the movement and in response to it.
"[Dada's] influence remains apparent in the paradoxes and processes of absurdist theater; for example, conceptual art, and the use of chance in various media . . . . It may be hard sometimes to see through the Dadists' display of nonsense to their true intentions. But this document confirms just how serious some of those intentions were."—Christian Science Monitor

"Indispensable for any library concerned with art, language, and theater in the early 20th century."—Choice
