"Marvelous. . . . Very moving. . . . Duffy persuasively penetrates the layers of myth and produces characters who suggest the real people they once were." --The New Yorker
"Astonishing. . . . Exquisite. . . . Breathlessly absorbing." --The Boston Globe "Duffy has found a subject whose ability to fascinate rivals that of Wittgenstein's, and the literary results, once again, are impressive." -San Francisco Chronicle "Entertaining. . . . [Duffy's] raucous, bawdy and ultimately worshipful take on the infamous poete maudit--as in cursed poet--offers histrionic scenes of pain, degredation, sheer madness and intermittent danger." --All Things Considered, NPR "A fiery mosaic of brilliantly conceived and written pieces. . . . The adorned texture of Duffy's writing becomes addictive. . . . Among other things, Disaster is the rare example of a page-turner whose pages are richly weighted." --The Boston GlobeArthur Rimbaud burst onto the literary scene in 1871 with a startling new voice, transforming himself from an anonymous country boy into the sensation of Paris. His explosive life included a passionate affair with the older (and married) poet Paul Verlaine, and a prosperous career as a trader and arms dealer in Ethiopia. A cancerous leg forced him to return to France, where he died at the age of thirty-seven.
Bruce Duffy takes these astonishing facts and brings them to vivid life in a story rich with humor, exquisite writing, and alarming parallels to our own contemporary moment. Disaster Was My God vividly conveys, as few works ever have, the inner turmoil of this calculating genius, and helps us understand why Rimbaud’s work and life continue to influence protean rock legends, from Bob Dylan to Patti Smith.
