Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The word 'SURREALISM' first appeared in Paris during the summer of 1917. It was coined by the poet Guillaume Apollinaire."
Industry Reviews
"Ruth Brandon's vivid group biography of the Paris-based congeries of avant-garde visual and literary artists between the world wars, is--blind spots aside--fascinating, impassioned and, in the many themes it juggles, absorbingly complex. It is also opinionated, brutally on occasion, which contributes to its punch."
Aloff
"Brandon's prehistory of the movement in her chapters on Apollinaire, Jacques Vache, Dada, and Duchamp move right along. Her research is impeccable, the connections she makes are deft and unexpected. But it's after Dali makes his first appearance...that the book really comes alive."
Van Arsdale
"Browse any bookstore and you'll find dozens of books about these personages [Breton, Many Ray, Tzara, Dali], but no historian has linked them into a coherent narrative as splendidly as Brandon, who tells as many fascinating stories of demented domesticity as she does of artistic breakthrough."
