Not for the faint of heart. A novel that plunges the reader into the zeitgeist of 1916 Europe and delves into philosophy, avant-garde art and revolutionary politics. Zurich 1916. Amidst the chaos of WWI a young man from provincial Poland arrives to study art. Good natured and unsophisticated, Anton has an enquiring nature and a strong desire to engage with modern culture. His lodgings are in Spiegelgasse, the same street as the neonatal dada movement’s Cabaret Voltaire. The narrative takes place over about six months during which Anton attends the cabaret performances and meets the artists. Observing at first hand the development of dada in Zurich from its beginnings he struggles to understand the underlying forces and impetus. He also encounters Vladimir Lenin and his wife who take a room at his lodging house. Lenin mercilessly acquaints Anton with the naked truth about society and reveals his views on art. Anton forms a friendship with Karl, an art student his own age from an old Zurich family. Anton is impressed with Karl's sophisticated manner and erudition, which Anton attempts to absorb through discussion and voracious reading, immersing himself in avant-garde art and philosophy. Although Anton had by this time begun to liberate himself from the dogma of his native Catholicism and was inclined towards a scientific and atheistic view, the impact of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy, the Cabaret Voltaire, the war, etc., drove him deeper into nihilism as he struggled to achieve a positive reconstruction of a desolated world. He both relished and dreaded the ideas he encountered but Anton's avowed aim was to achieve full self-consciousness and a clear understanding of the nature of his being, so intrepid and honest inquiry into reality was imperative. This is a coming of age story processed through Anton’s mind, with all its struggles, naiveté and imperfection. When Anton achieves his goal of self-consciousness through a profound subjective experience he discovers that it’s not what he hoped for. It’s a story that plumbs the depths of the human experience of being.

A Portrait of the Artist as Australian available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book is the first critical assessment of Humphries' entire oeuvre, especially his career as an author. Arguing that Humphries is one of Australia's greatest writers, the author reveals a multi-faceted artist whose success is rooted in the British music hall tradition, Dadaism and grotesquerie. Being Australian has also fundamentally shaped the performer and writer, and the author's defence of Humphries against charges of expatriatism is pertinent to the debate on Australian national identity.
