Official synopsis Publisher
“Mad Love is a bizarre, beautiful book. It is a novel, an autobiography, a manifesto-a highly unusual hybrid or, better yet, a ‘miracle of rare device.’. . . [Breton] has seduced me. I have tried to make sense, using words, of his longings. I am in love with this book, but like Breton, I cannot explain my deep, irrational responses”.-Review of Contemporary Fiction. Translated by Mary Ann Caws.
