May 6, 2024(excerpts from Women in Dada)
Roche’s surreal, dadaist roman à clef exposing the misogynistic world of the French avant-garde.
Part poetic satire and part Dada nonsense.
Roche seemed to find the antics of the all-male world of the Dadaists to be too limited, and they are wickedly satirized among these pages.
The novella is an indirect indictment of certain illicit behaviors Roche found annoying and dangerous.
She synthesizes their personalities and physical traits to create the decadent Mac’Adam and the men he encounters on the day of his demise.
Picabia becomes Mac’Adam. Swiss writer and boxer Arthur Craven lends his name to the protagonist while becoming Lloyd Willow.
Roche spins the narrative in poetic and surreal fragments, at turns absurd and others told in a stream-of-consciousness style.
