A review by casparb
Nadja by André Breton
4.0
This roams into the strong 3.5 territory it is a difficulty it is wonderful and Breton-y in the way I adored when I read the Manifestoes of Surrealism which are still exquisite and explosive and deserving a reread but Nadja is overlapping hauntings and painful therein. André can be earnestly beautiful. His prose is certainly among the best of the era.
I think Nadja the person tears holes in this text. What happens to her is heartbreaking, but because it is a true story and Nadja was indeed Nadja and Breton had this relationship with her. It doesn't cast him in the best light. Compelled the imagination for many days.
