Four years after #HGWells published 'The Time Machine' (1895), #AlfredJarry wrote 'How to Construct a Time Machine' (1899).
Jarry (pataphysics, Ubu Roi) was a French #Symbolist poet, playwright, and influencer on #Dadaism, #Surrealism, #Futurism, #Absurdism and #Conceptualism. His works inspired avant-garde thinkers and arts movements of the 20th century.
