A Book of Surrealist Games by Mel Gooding, Alastair Brotchie, Alexis Lykiard, Jennifer Batchelor

asurasantosha's review against another edition

This is a great book but not so much something you just read through. I will continue to pick through it when the mood strikes.

I didn't finish this with a list of fun games I might actually want to play but I had a good time and learned some interesting things about surrealists.

in particular raymond roussel's method of writing by creating a very elaborate set of rules for himself then trying to fit the plot into them is sick.

lots of oulipo type stuff

Fun, fun, fun. Wrote some cool little stories using it.

Looking forward to using some of these at the next art night. Hard to rate a book so loose, so I'll just leave it blank for now.

Let's just sit around and play silly games out of this book for the rest of our lives, shall we? Seriously!

A glorious little book full of ideas and rare dada/ surrealist contributors. Hugely recommended
