Description

Verso, London, 1992, 1st English translation.  ISBN 0-86091-603-0.  Trade soft cover, 215 pages including Notes.  Very good; wraps show light edge and cover wear, bit of sunning on spine, touch of soil on outer page block, remainder dot on bottom edge; binding tight.  Interior clean and unmarked; black & white photos.  ”In January 1928, long before Kinsey or Masters and Johnson began their clinical surveys, the Paris surrealists initiated their own remarkable ‘research into sexuality’, in the form of twelve round-table discussions, transcribed here for the first time in English. … Though there is plenty of humour in these transcripts, the surrealists were engaging in the most rigorous self-exploration, trying scrupulously to record every aspect of sexual love. … This book is many things.  A unique historical record of sexual practice and ethics.  A fundamental text for understanding the surrealist movement.  And, for all its idiosyncrasies, a document which retains an extraordinary vitality.” (from rear wrap)
