About At the Blue Monkey: 33 Outlandish Stories

“Serner was so naive as to think he could find sympathizers in the world of art. After turning his back on the art world–the very art world that would later use his ideas like a brand of laundry detergent–he glorified a world of swindlers in which everybody deceives everybody.”–Hans RichterWalter Serner’s first story collection, published in German in 1921, brought to narrative form the essential philosophy he espoused in his earlier Dada manifesto handbook, Last Loosening: A Handbook for the Con Artist and u0026 Those Who Wish to Be One–life is a con job and demands the skills of a swindler. With its depiction of a world of appearances in which nothing can be trusted, At the Blue Monkey helped establish the ex-doctor and renounced Dadaist as a literary and “Maupaussant of crime and ” and offers in this first English translation thirty-three stories of criminals, con artists, prostitutes, and gadabouts engaged in a variety of forms of financial insolvency, embezzlement, sexual hijinks, long and short cons, and dalliances with venereal diseases and drugs. With a mordant humor that renders the criminal code into something nearly occult, Serner offers a bevy of hoodlums, pimps, and swindlers utilizing a potpourri of European argot to disquieting effect, waging a secret war against anything crossing their paths–especially in affairs of the ultimate confidence scheme, the heart. Told in a baroque, sometimes baffling poetry of underworld slang in an urban world of bars and rent-a-rooms where human animals are either on unsavory display or on the make, these short tales are presented to the reader like so many three-card Montes in which the reader too late comes to realize that they may well themselves be the literary mark.
