Raymond Roussel (1877-1933), born in Paris, was a French
novelist, playwright, and poet. Unpopular during his lifetime, his
works were highly influential to the Surrealist movement and the
development of the nouveau roman.
Mark Polizzotti is the translator of more than thirty books from the French. His articles and reviews have appeared in The Wall Street Journal and The Nation. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
"Polizzotti’s remarkable achievement is a welcome addition to this small but growing body of work on Roussel and serves as a reminder of an author and a novel too often neglected, and far too brilliant to be missed." — Words Without Borders
