The Dada editorial



Now we move on to the editorial of Blinkity Blank's Greater Dada Issue.


The text goes:

good day

I

an old dream has come true: blinkity blank's greater dada issue is out. it has of course a limited print run, so that i can say: this will be a wanted collector's item in 50 years. a used book store has promised to pay 10,000 marks of a self-published book by mika waltari. so, i'd advise you to take this.

II

what i just wrote is of course an opposite of dada.

III

what is dada? at least it is

W. ROSENLEW & CO., LTD.*

and

2200 columns

2000 pictures

1110 pages

1000 biographies

700 symphonies and other orchestra works

500 pieces of orchestration

400 assistants

100 opera librettos

4000 music records catalogued

100 music films

58 corpses

and it's also non-dada.

tristan tzara (1896-1963) is the guest poet.

* A big Finnish manufacturer.

Edit: for some reason the picture won't show bigger. I don't know why. Is it too big or something? Hope you can see something from the thumbnail image.


Edit 2: I changed the title, now you should be able to click it.
