1st U.S. edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "This fish is loaded with more than 30 outrageous stories, sketches and dialogues by some of the greatest names in art, fiction, music and film. The target is every preconception, cliche, sacred cow and institution that unimaginative minds hold dear. Nothing is spared, from Marien on Love (his 'Children's Marquis de Sade' may surprise) to Allais on Death (an interesting use to which corpses can be put). In among, in glorious alphabetical disarray, are Surrealists proper like Andre Breton, Salvador Dali, Leonora Carrington, Benjamin Peret and Raymond Queneau, together with such precursors--Surrealists before the word was invented--as G. K. Chesterton and Fitz-James O'Brien (a Victorian hotel with, literally, ears and eyes). Completing the line-up are such Surreally-inspired or just naturally off-centre moderns as Woody Allen, whose college professor has an unexpected affair with Madame Bovary, John Lennon ("Surrealism to me is reality"), Donald Barthelme with 'Brain Damage' and, with a curious little tale from one of his album sleeves, Bob Dylan." [publisher copy] Also has Monty Python, Alfred Jarry, Man Ray, Arthur Schopenhauer, Kurt Schwitters, many more. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
