The Dedalus Book of Surrealism (The Identity of Things)

Author: Michael Richardson

The range is impressive, and includes several women: collectively venerated 'child women' like Gisele Prassinos; women initially associated with male Surrealists but independently prolific, such as Leonora Carrington and Meret Oppenheim; contemporary writers like Rikki Ducornet. Richardson makes available in English several early treasures, such as Salvador Dali's Reverie and Pierre Unik's Long Live the Bride, a wonderful tale of mistaken identity and metonymical transfer of meaning.

I went to fetch my car, but my chauffeur, who has no sense at all, had just buried it', writes Leonora Carrington in this captivating collection of tales from 17 languages.
