I literally slammed this book shut in furry after trying to read the first couple pages. The writing style is incomprehensible.

What exactly is your writing style?
It's not great. Not terribly surreal either. His surrealist manifesto is too specific and ideological to accurately define the characteristics or motivations of the movement too. Breton strikes me as more of a hanger on than a serious artist.

It's surrealism. Did you buy it expecting a simple, easy novel? Do you not research books or authors before buying them?

Breton's style of 'surrealism' is more interesting than enjoyable, imo. Read the manifestoes; read the Immaculate Conception. Consider Nadja and Magnetic Fields, but yeah, it can be quite 'incomprehensible'.

Agreed. I feel like he couldn't put what he wanted to say into words and so just relied on poesy to guide him.
