Recommended by Anya
This is one of the best surrealist novels out there. The narrator is entranced by a woman named Nadja, a typical parisian ‘flâneuse’, free-spirited and eccentric. Throughout their brief affair, we follow Nadja and the narrator as they walk the streets of Paris in a dreamlike state. This book is abstract and a bit weird but in all the right ways. Most importantly it is a love letter to city.
From the publisher
NADJA is a Surrealist romance, and has come to be known as a book which defined that movement's attitude towards life. With its blend of intimate confession and sense of the marvellous, NADJA weaves a myterious and compelling tapestry of daily life as seen through a magical perspective. Combining autobiographical fact with memory and imagination, Breton spins one of the most unusual love stories in modern literature.
