The Adventures of Telemachus
- Used Book in Good Condition
This is the first paperback edition in English of one of the most important and entertaining works of Surrealist fiction. Aragonâ€™s 1922 novel boldly appropriates the title and plot of a didactic seventeenth-century epic, recounting the adventures of Odysseusâ€™ son Telemachus; but the moralistic underpinnings of the original are replaced by a Surrealistâ€™s dedication to the strange, the beautiful and the erotic. Though a classic of Surrealism, this is not automatic writing; on the contrary, it is a wryly self-conscious book, full of the kinds of intertextual games associated with writers such as Borges and Calvino. As the Huberts comment in their Introduction, â€œAragon did not have to liberate his mind through automatic exercises; but by mastering and playing with the narrativeâ€¦ he succeeded in freeing himself from the constraints of mimeticismâ€¦ descend[ing] into the diabolical nirvana of Dada.â€
