More about the book
The anthology presents André Breton's influential views on l'humour noir, a key concept in Surrealism, alongside his insightful critiques of admired authors. While it includes familiar figures like Swift, Kafka, and Poe, Breton's surprising choices introduce lesser-known writers, offering fresh perspectives that may astonish American readers. This first English publication invites exploration of the complex interplay between humor and darkness in literature.
