Possible definitions for knarry


Jarry
French writer. He went to Paris to live on his inheritance at 18; after exhausting it, he led a life of calculated buffoonery. His farce Ubu Roi (1896), considered a forerunner of theater of the absurd and of Surrealism, featured the grotesque P\u00e8 re Ubu, who becomes king of Poland. Jarry followed it with two sequels, one of which was published posthumously. The brilliant imagery and wit of his stories, novels, and poems usually lapse into incoherence and unintelligible symbolism. A heavy drinker, he died at 34.


Kearny
U.S. Army officer. Born in Newark, N.J., he served in the War of 1812 and later on the W frontier. At the outbreak of the Mexican War, he was ordered to seize New Mexico and California. Using diplomacy to persuade Mexican troops to withdraw, he marched unopposed to Santa Fe, where in 1846 he proclaimed a civil government for the province. He left for California, where R. Stockton and J. Fr\u00e9 mont had already assumed command. Their forces combined to defeat Mexican rebels in 1847 and, after initial opposition by Fr\u00e9 mont, established a stable government. Sent to Mexico, Kearney died of yellow fever.
