Pulp Surrealism: Insolent Popular Culture in Early Twentieth-Century Paris Hardcover - 2000
by Robin Walz
From the rear cover
"A 'wonder cabinet' of a book that brings to vivid life again the ephemeral pleasures of fl�nerie in Paris. Walz is a marvelous guide to the pulp fiction, newspaper sensationalism, and 'disreputable, ' fast-disappearing neighborhoods of Paris that the surrealists not only loved but drew on for inspiration in their revolutionary effort to reconfigure human consciousness in early twentieth-century France." Richard Abel, author of The Cin� Goes to Town: French Cinema, 1896-1914 and The Red Rooster Scare: Making Cinema American, 1900-1910
"Robin Walz's Pulp Surrealism represents an original and creative approach to the cultural history of the French interwar avant-garde. He shifts our focus away from surrealist texts themselves to the conditions of their production and in the process illuminates in fascinating ways the relationship between surrealism and popular culture." Carolyn Dean, author of The Frail Social Body: Pornography, Homosexuality, and Other Fantasies in Interwar France
"Pulp Surrealism is the vibrant story of the interplay between avant-garde intellectuals and emerging mass culture in the early years of the twentieth century. In this stimulating history Robin Walz lays bare the many contradictory connections between high and popular culture, and in the process restores to life the brilliant effrontery and joy of the surrealist movement." Tyler Stovall, author of The Rise of the Paris Red Belt and Paris Noir: African Americans in the City of Light
