Description
by Alain Segura (Author), Anna O'Meara (Translator), Sarah Lynne Roberts (Translator)
A memoir of the infamous "last Surrealist" amid the heady militancy of May '68.
Alain Segura was a teenage anarchist in Paris during the mid-to-late 1960s when he hung around with members of the Enragéeacute;s and the Situationist International. He was particularly captivated by Yugoslavian militant, poet, and painter Marianne Ivsic, a member of André Breton's Surrealist group. It was Guy Debord who approvingly called her "the last Surrealist."A Season with Marianne details the heady days of friendship, rebellion, and creative militancy surrounding May '68, against the backdrop of a colossal split between the Anarchist International and the Situationists in 1967, and the impossible demands of a revolution briefly glimpsed.
