Surrealist Subversions: Rants, Writings & Images by the Surrealist Movement in the United States

From its auspicious beginnings in the summer of 1966 to the present, the Chicago Surrealist Group — and the Surrealist Movement in the United States, which grew out of it — has brightly illuminated the pathways of absolute divergence that define the intrinsically anarchist trajectory of the surrealist adventure. Drawing on the full range of U.S. surrealist publications and communiques from the front lines of the battle against miserabilism, this volume contains over 200 texts (many appearing here for the first time) by more than 50 participants, in the most comprehensive, diverse and lavishly illustrated compilation of American surrealist writings ever assembled.
