Translated Poetry, Prose, and Interviews of Philippe Soupault (1897-1990).
These totally remarkable renderings - I won't even say translations -of the superb French Surrealist poet, Philippe Soupault, are nothing short of miraculous. Gregg Ellis has managed to offer more than I might have imagined. And Soupault is, at least for me, the most appealing Surrealist, even more so than the revered André Breton. All three parts of this book surpass anything an enthusiastic reader of Surrealists texts could long for. What else to say? These works will surely trigger a desire for more as any encounter with Soupault is both enriching and delightful.
-Mary Ann Caws, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Comparative Literature, English, and French at the Graduate School of the City University of New York
Philippe Soupault was a French Surrealist who published over seventy-five books in his life and is most well-known for co-authoring The Magnetic Fields with André Breton.
Gregg Ellis was born in the United States and lives in France.
