Tarr by Wyndham Lewis

"Tarr" by Wyndham Lewis is a modernist novel written in 1907–11 and first serialized in 1916. Set in bohemian pre-war Paris, it follows two artists: the Englishman Tarr and the German Kreisler. They navigate struggles with money, women, and art while clashing with the society around them. The novel explores Nietzschean themes through Tarr's disdain for bourgeois-bohemians and Kreisler's violent Romantic energy. Dark humor pervades this erotically charged tale of artistic ambition and social conflict in the modern world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
