This book is a monument to Breton's ego, and he didn't convince me he was worth it.
2/5 Stars (%36/100)
I am not a very artsy guy even though I do enjoy paintings, especially comparing them to literary works. That is exactly what we did in one of my courses. I was more or less familiar with Breton because of his Surrealist Manifesto. (Never read it completely before though) In general, I liked Nadja but since Surrealism itself is very complicated, the book was also difficult to read. If you are not really interested in art, especially Surrealism, you will probably not like this book. I liked the language and the main identity crisis that Nadja faces. It was also a bit autobiographical in my opinion. Good book, give it a chance.

A series of fascinating tangents. Ultimately quite sad, despite trying to strike a triumphant note. Anyone who values mystery and madness in life will find a lot here.
