First edition in English of this classic surrealist novel. Translated by Thomas Buckley, with a foreword by Ezra Pound, and an introduction by Edouard Roditi. “Loosely structured around a luncheon attended by thirteen guests, the novel is a surrealistic critique of the intellectual corruption of post-World War I France, especially the capitalist bourgeoisie and its supporter, the Catholic Church.”

Minor foxing to edges. Signature of Dr. Gary Simes. Very minor foxing to jacket verso. Very Good Condition.
