Those who are mad like Antonin Artaud, are they just as mad
as he was? Madness, like the plague, is contagious, and
everyone, from his psychiatrists to his disciples, family,
and critics, everyone who gets close to Artaud, seems to
participate in his delirium. Sylvère Lotringer explores
various embodiments of this shared delirium through what
Artaud called “mental dramas”—a series of confrontations
with his witnesses or “persecutors” where we uncover the raw
delirium at work, even in Lotringer himself.<span

class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>does not intend to
add one more layer of commentary to the bitter controversies
that have been surrounding the cursed poet’s work since his
death in 1948, nor does it take sides among the different
camps who are still haggling over his corpse. This book
speaks of the site where “madness” itself is simmering. </p>
