In the years following World War I, a small group of writers,
painters, and filmmakers called the Surrealists set out to change
the way we perceive the world. In Surreal Lives, Ruth Brandon
follows the lives and interactions of such firecracker minds as the
movement's didactic Pope, Andre Breton, and the ambitious and manic
Salvador Dali, as well as Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, Tristan
Tzara, Man Ray, Max Ernst, and filmmaker Luis Bunuel. It charts
their shifting allegiances, and their ties to muses and patrons
like Gala Dali and Peggy Guggenheim. Ruth Brandon spins the many
stories of Surrealism with wit, energy, and insight, bringing sharp
analysis to an eccentric cast of characters whose struggles and
achievements came to mirror and define the way the world changed
between the wars. Fascinating, impassioned... admirable [for] the
masterly storytelling, the richness of anecdotal incident, the keen
reporting of intellectual enthusiasms and artistic collaborations,
and the panorama of a spectacular cultural galaxy. -- The New York
Times Book Review; Superbly entertaining... A cousin to Malcolm
Cowley's Exile's Return. -- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book
World; A lively and absorbing complement to [the Surrealists']
work. -- The New Yorker
