This is a highly readable book, and jam-packed with information and insights into Breton, as a poet, and as a man, who knew what he wanted, and what he imagined. This was a powerful collaboration between a poet and a painter, between Breton and Miro. Touching on magic, on the force and importance of analogy, on the struggles of surrealism during the years when it was considered to have passed on (proving to the contrary) and, in essence a very intriguing history of the spirit of surrealist exploration. Very much against the other review here, this is an important, and very powerful book. Highly recommended!
