Book Discussion: Inside the Magnetic Fields

From the publisher: One of the hallmarks of Surrealism is the encounter, often by chance, with a key person, place, or object through a trajectory no one could have predicted. Penelope Rosemont draws on a lifetime of such experiences in her collection of essays, Surrealism: Inside the Magnetic Fields. From her youthful forays as a radical student in Chicago to her pivotal meeting with Andr Breton and the Surrealist Movement in Paris, Rosemont–one of the movement’s leading exponents in the United States–documents her unending search for the Marvelous.
