"The menace of surrealism was so frequently advertised that any
reader of this book should be allowed the impudence of demanding my
credentials." So opens Wayne Andrews's The Surrealist Parade, a
portrait of the movement in literature and art by a man who, at the
age of nineteen, began to correspond with its major figures and
afterward came to know them well. Under the name of Montagu
O'Reilly, Andrews wrote the surrealist fiction Pianos of Sympathy
(1936), the very first New Directions book. In later years, Andrews
became a social historian, art archivist, and scholar of
architectural history, publishing no less than sixteen books, among
them his well-known study of the cultural roots of Nazism,
Siegfried's Curse, and a pungent biography of Voltaire (meanwhile,
Montagu O'Reilly had made a reappearance on the ND list in 1948
with Who Has Been Tampering with These Pianos?). When Andrews died
in 1987, he had completed all but the last chapter of The
Surrealist Parade, his portrait of a movement in art and literature
that took in such disparate temperaments as Andre Breton, Paul
Eluard, and Salvador Dali. The book is, in the words of his
lifelong friend and publisher, James Laughlin, a "little insider's
history... Montagu is very much behind Wayne in these caustic yet
admiring sketches."
