Surrealpolitik

Leonora Carrington

One of the relatively few women Surrealists associated with the original movement, by virtue not only of her talent and artistic inclinations but by her torrid affair with Max Ernst, what with she being 19 and he being 46 and married and all. A fantastic life story involving madness and rescue by nannies arriving in submarines. A delightful writer, a joy to read.
