Description
Liberty Or Love! & Mourning for Mourning is a masterpiece of early Surrealism written by Robert Desnos. First published in 1924, it was an instant success and has since become a crown jewel of Surrealist eroticism. The novel is a dream that blends the violent with the tender, effortlessly scandalous and joyful. Desnos' writing style is characterized by characters who appear and disappear at whim, walking underwater and accepting astonishing coincidences with calm nonchalance. This unique blend of the surreal and the erotic is illuminated by references to Lautréamont, Jack the Ripper and Sade. The book is a perfect embodiment of the Surrealist spirit. This new hardback edition includes Desnos' first book, Mourning for Mourning, which features his own selection of early stories from the "period of sleeping fits" and automatic writing.
