About the author
Alexandrian (1927-2009) was a French writer, art critic and essayist closely associated with the Surrealist movement. Throughout his career, he explored the history of ideas, literary avant-gardes and the intellectual figures who challenged the conventions of their time.
A specialist in Surrealism and the history of nonconformist thought, he became one of the leading interpreters of André Breton's legacy and contributed to the rediscovery of several important yet overlooked writers and thinkers.
