Description
The grotesquely toned text Doctor Billig in Distress by Richard Huelsenbeck from 1920 is the very first Dadaist novel in the world. It is a novel of contrasts: fantastic scenes alternate with realistic descriptions, and satirical conversations are followed by pathetic proclamations. Huelsenbeck's critique of bourgeois hypocrisy, as well as life without any moral principles, remains significant even a hundred years after its first publication.
