50 years since the death of its principal founder, surrealism asks: "Who was André Breton? And whom does he haunt?" To mark this anniversary, active surrealists from around the world have contributed their Bretonian dreams, encounters, poems, paintings, sculptures, and other marvels to this singular potlatch. Collected in honour of his legacy, and in stark opposition to the denigrating efforts of recent biographers to bury his reputation - and anything but a memorial - this collection represents a polemic to the present and a parcel to the future in the name of the living, vibrant forces of the surrealist revolution. Peculiar Mormyrid, 2016.
