Soupault is the co-founder of the surrealist movement, so this book should appeal to fans of surrealism as well as dada. The book also concerns well-known writers like James Joyce, Marcel Proust, and Apollinaire. This is the only English translation of this vital and rare first-person account of the French writers (and including James Joyce) who shook the literary establishment in Paris and breathed fresh air into a young century. Published on the centenary of the Dada movement. Paul Auster will blurb the book and it will feature a foreword by noted translator and Breton biographer Mark Polizzoti and an afterword by Ron Padgett.
