On the back of the cover the blurb says that ML was translated into English over forty years after its initial publication because of the difficulties of Breton’s language. It’s clear to see from reading the book why it took so long. One of the few things I managed to draw from the book was Breton’s idea that all art was worth less than natural compositions like rock formations. After that Breton wrote about shopping he had bought then descended into meaningless sentences strung together in no discernable form. At just over one hundred pages this was one of the shortest books I’ve read but almost certainly one of the ones where I’ve had the most struggle to get through.
I was relieved to put the book down after finishing it.
