5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent compilation! Finally a good one volume Desnos book in English.,
By Surrealsw "SWbookwoman" (Rhode Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Poems and Writings of Robert Desnos (Paperback)
This is a very welcome and valuable addition to introduce Anglophone readers to Robert Desnos. Excerpts from novels, film script scenarios,manifestos, an extensive bi-lingual poetry section with various translators, and a very comprehensive essay on Desnos and his importance within Surrealism by Mary Ann Caws help present a well rounded view of Desnos. And it is about time someone has done so. I would also recommend Desnos' two novels published by Atlas Pres, UK (excerpts reprinted in this anthology), and the very good biography of Desnos by Katherine Conley. Desnos was one of the most important contributors to the Surrealist group around Andre Breton during the golden age of Surrealism in the 1920's.
