Ball used the novella to introduce an anthology of his own sound poems, some of which were performed at the Cabaret Voltaire. Jeffrey Schnapp introduces the book, elaborating the cultural and historical context of Ball\u0026#39;s work, probing various aspects of Ball\u0026#39;s asceticism, spirituality and sexuality to arrive at a revisionist interpretation of Zurich Dada and the origins of modernism as well as postmodern art-making.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTenderenda the Fantast \u003c/em\u003ewas to have appeared in 1922 accompanied by a suit of woodcuts by Hans Arp.

Overcoming odds and alternately averting, succumbing to and embracing financial ruin, Flametti ultimately emerges as a tragic figure\u0026mdash;a Willy Loman of vaudeville.
