This slim, elegant and touching volume opens up the question of the political intentions of surrealism?Strom's erudition has resulted in a masterful short book that could work wonders as an introduction to surrealism, as a debut of modernist art history and as a political primer for those many youth with hair dyed green who would like to oppose the dead hand of today's dogmatic academic leftism.
