The Gas Heart by Tristan Tzara translation of Le Coeur a gaz
 The curse of youth from each generation is to
 believe that they invented “cool.” If you are 24
 years or under right now, you probably believe
 this.
 
     But the truth is you invented nothing. You
 were invented. Every band you love, every poem
 you write, every magazine picture you dwell on,
 was shaped by your great-grandfather. His name
 was Tristan Tzara.
 
    Fortunately for you, Eric v.d. Luft (your distant
 uncle) has remembered your great-grandfather's
 play, The Gas Heart. He has translated the play
 gorgeously; all you have to do is read it to
 understand where you come from, how you
 were invented.

        Author of several articles on Tristan Tzara
