Best International Debut in 2017 (awarded by Romanian General and
Comparative Literature Association) Most Prestigious Publication in
the Humanities (awarded by the Senate of the University of
Bucharest) Surrealism began as a movement in poetry and visual art,
but it turned out to have its widest impact worldwide in
fiction-including in major world writers who denied any connection
to surrealism at all. At the heart of this book are discoveries
Delia Ungureanu has made in the archives of Harvard's Widener and
Houghton libraries, where she has found that Jorge Luis Borges and
Vladimir Nabokov were greatly indebted to surrealism for the
creation of the pivotal characters who brought them world fame:
Pierre Menard and Lolita. In From Paris to Tloen: Surrealism as
World Literature, Ungureanu explores the networks of transmission
and transformation that turned an avant-garde Parisian movement
into a global literary phenomenon. From Paris to Tloen gives a
fresh account of surrealism's surprising success, exploring the
process of artistic transfer by which the surrealist object rapidly
evolved from a purely poetic conception to a mainstay of surrealist
visual art and then a key element in late modernist and postmodern
fiction, from Borges and Nabokov to such disparate writers as
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Haruki Murakami, and Orhan Pamuk in the
21st century.
