Apocryphal Pataphysics - Paperback
by Peter Clarke (Author)
Pataphysics, at once a literary trope and a branch of philosophy (and science), has influenced an array of prominent artists, writers, and musicians since the early 20th century. Members of the Paris-based Coll ge de 'Pataphysique have included Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Queneau, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Fernando Arrabal, and the Marx Brothers. "Apocryphal Pataphysics" brings the study of pataphysics into the modern age, stripping off the arcane baggage, fleshing out new dimensions, and serving up a quasi-guidebook for pataphysicians
Peter Clarke holds degrees in psychology and law; he is in no way qualified to discuss pataphysics but does enjoy a good absinthe and the occasional fish. He was born in Forks, Washington and grew up in Port Angeles. At age 21, he fled to Northern California and currently lives in Oakland. His first novel, "Politicians Are Superheroes," was published by Pski's Porch Publishing in 2018.
