The novel takes place in a nocturnal Paris where the narrator follows Georgette, a fascinating woman who seems to merge with the darkness. Amid walks, encounters and farewells, the city becomes a space full of mystery and desire, as Soupault explores the beauty and identity of those who find refuge in the night.
1997 edition in the L'Imaginaire collection, with a preface by Claude Leroy. The novel was originally published in 1928.
A work for readers of surrealist fiction and classic French literature, interested in the interwar Paris.
Philippe Soupault was a French poet, novelist, critic, and political activist, born in Chaville. He was active in Dadaism and later was instrumental in founding the Surrealist movement with André Breton. Soupault initiated the periodical Littérature together with writers Breton and Louis Aragon in Paris in 1919, which, for many, marks the beginnings of Surrealism. The first book of automatic writing, Les Champs magnétiques (1920), was co-authored by Soupault and Breton.
