4.9/5 (12283 ratings)

Description:Richard Dadd is a trickster, a pre-post-modern enigma wrapped in a Shakespearean Midsummer Nights Dream; an Elizabethan Puck living in a smothering Victorian insane asylum, foreshadowing and, in brilliant, Mad Hatter conundrums, entering the fragmented shards of todays nightmarish oxymorons long before the artists currently trying to give them the jokers ephemeral maps of discourse.The author thinks of Bob Dylans Ballad of a Thin Man, that cryptic refusal to reduce the warped mirrors of reality to prosaic lies, or, perhaps All Along the Watchtower or Mr Tambourine Man. Even more than Samuel Becketts Waiting for Godot, which curiously enough comes off as overly esoteric, too studied, too conscious, Dadds entire existence foreshadows the forbidden entrance into the numinous, the realization of the inexplicable labyrinths of contemporary existence, that wonderfully rich Marcel Duchamp landscape of puns and satiric paradigms, that surrealistic parallax of the brilliant gamester Salvador Dali, that smirking irony of the works of Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage, and Robert Indiana; that fragmented, meta-fictional struggle of Kurt Vonneguts Slaughterhouse Five.John Lennon certainly sensed it and couldnt help but push into meta-real worlds in his own lyrics. Think of Strawberry Fields Forever, I Am the Walrus, and the more self-conscious Revolution Number 9. In Yer Blues, he even refers to Dylans main character, Mr Jones from Ballad of a Thin Man. If Lennons song is taken seriously, literally, then it is a dark crying out by a suicidal man, Lord, Im lonely, wanna die; or, if taken as a metaphor for a lovers lost feelings about his unfulfilled love, it falls into the romantic rant of a typical blues or teenage rock-and-roll song.However, even on this level, it has an irony about it, a sense of laughing at itself and at Dylans Mr Jones, who knows something is going on but just not what it is, and then, by extension, all of us who have awakened to the fact that the studied Western world doesnt make sense, all of us who struggle to find meaning in the nonsense images, characters, and happenings in the song, and perhaps, coming to a conclusion that the nonsense is the sense.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
