The Edge of Surrealism: A Roger Caillois Reader Hardcover - 2003
by Roger Caillois; Claudine Frank (Editor); Camille Naish (Translator)
From the rear cover
"Roger Caillois has remained relatively unknown in the English-speaking world. This superb selection of his essays, expertly translated, shows the full range of his thought and should place him next to Bataille and the Surrealists as a major intellectual figure in interwar and postwar France. Claudine Frank's general introduction and detailed commentaries on individual essays provide the necessary contexts for understanding this complex, often paradoxical thinker. A first-rate work that is sure to be of interest to all students of 20th-century French thought."--Susan Rubin Suleiman, author of" Risking Who One Is: Encounters with Contemporary Art and Literature"
