Liberty or Love! And Mourning for Mourning Desnos Robert
Mystery, the marvelous, the city of Paris transmuted by love, and Sanglot the Corsair's pursuit of the siren Louise Lame: these are the essential ingredients of Liberty or Love , a masterpiece of early Surrealism written by Robert Desnos (1900-1945) and first published in 1924 to immediate acclaim. This crown jewel of Surrealist eroticism is part hymn to the erotic and part adventure story illumined by the shades of Lautreamont, Jack the Ripper and Sade. Characters appear and disappear at whim; they walk underwater and accept the most astounding coincidences with calm nonchalance.
Desnos was famously lauded by Andre Breton--in his First Manifesto of Surrealism--for having come "closest to the Surrealist truth," and his novel is a dream at once violent and tender--the perfect embodiment, in fact, of the Surrealist spirit: joyful and despairing, and effortlessly scandalous.
