Author: Robert Desnos
Published in 1943 (just a year before its author was arrested by the Gestapo), this title was a departure for Robert Desnos: a shift from his earlier, frenetic Surrealist prose to a social realism that borrowed as much from his life experience as his career as a journalist. Drawing on his own use of drugs in the 1920s and his doomed relationship with the chanteuse Yvonne George, Desnos here portrays a band of opium, cocaine and heroin users from all walks of life in Paris.
ISBN 9781939663696. Wakefield Press. pb. 200 pages. 14 x 19.5 cm.
