Summary: A worthwhile surrealist object
Comment: It figures that a couple months after I hunt up a copy, this becomes readily available.
It's a fascinating book. The collages are made of illustrations from lurid French novels popular at the time. The edges of the different cut and pasted pictures look seamless, and Ernst has a great design sensibility. The introduction is useful, if short.
The surrealist aesthetic toward women--that is, surrealist art (including that by women) constantly shows female figures, generally nudes, as victims or in suffering--is particularly visible here, probably helped by the source matter. It's significant that the major female artists involved in the movement, such as Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, and Dorthea Tanning, tended not to produce much until they had been seperated from the heart of the movement for years. It's the major flaw in the movement's thinking, but that doesn't stop this from being an intriguing book for occasional contemplation.
The original title pages are reproduced in facsimile and translated.

Summary: Une Semaine De BontE : A Surrealistic Novel in Collage
Comment: One of the best books I own. Inspirational, in a way -- like mind taffy. Something about the pictures and the little bit of text makes you want to make connections. Like life itself. Forster said: "Only connect." Absolutely fantastic.
Rating: 5
Summary: Provocative, evocative, brilliant.
Comment: I found a copy of this in a museum in Berlin last year and not a day has gone by that I haven't opened it up to stare at the images and the mad, deliciously nightmarish stories they tell.
