Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Carl Solomon (March 30, 1928-1993) was an American writer. Solomon was born in the Bronx of New York City. His father's death in 1939 had a profoundly negative effect on his early life. Solomon later said of the time, I drifted into indiscipline and intellectual adventure that eventually became complete confusion. Graduating high school by age fifteen, Solomon then went onto the City College of New York for a short time before joining the United States Marines in 1944. In his travels overseas, Solomon became exposed to Surrealism and Dada, ideas that would inspire him throughout his life. In Paris, he witnessed Antonin Artaud give a screaming poetry reading-this so impressed him that he would remain a disciple of Artaud for much of his life. It was shortly after this period that Carl Solomon was voluntarily institutionalized, a gesture he made as a Dadaist symbol of defeat.
