About This Item
Paris: Editions Surrealistes. 1932. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. Wraps, very good with *tiny* chips in corners, a longish tear in front spine fold, and a little fading to the red spine. Crevel was an important surrealist poet who often found himself in conflict with Andre Breton. He was excluded from the early group because of his homosexuality but rejoined in 1929 when the surrealists were trying to develop a relationship with the communists, a relationship that would allow them to contribute to the class struggle without submerging everything they thought valuable in themselves. This conflict would be repeated often throughout the 1930s. It was after a particularly traumatic incident in 1935 that Crevel took his own life, as his father had done when Crevel was a young boy.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 168 pp .
