View: Parade of the Avant-Garde : An Anthology of View Magazine (1940-1947)

Rating:
Summary: Tomorrow & Tommorrow & Tomorrow
Review: This book is a gem of Mid-Century Avant Garde, Surrealist, Fabulist & more writing. Pieces by Man Ray, Henry Miller, Paul Bowles, Camus, Borges. Stuff about Ernst, Breton, Durrell, Leger. 60 or more similar items. A fascinating short article that gives the '40s perspective on "Les chants de Maldoror;" really an underground book then. A time capsule or doorway through to a long gone, fertile period in the arts from a participant's perspective.
