How many people can honestly say “I was a teenage Surrealist”?
The only person I know of is the writer Gisèle Prassinos—discovered at the age of 14 by
André Breton.
Black Scat Books has just published a marvelous, limited edition collection of 20 texts by Prassinos—half of them written when she 14 and 15—lovingly translated by Ellen Nations.
SURREALIST TEXTS is illustrated with haunting surreal watercolor paintings by Bruce Hutchinson.
