  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;Nadja&lt;/i&gt;, originally published in France in 1928, is the first and perhaps best Surrealist romance ever written, a book which defined that movement's attitude toward everyday life.The principal narrative is an account of the author's relationship with a girl in the city of Paris, the story of an obsessional presence haunting his life. The first-person narrative is supplemented by forty-four photographs which form an integral part of the work--pictures of various 'surreal' people, places, and objects which the author visits or is haunted by in Nadja's presence and which inspire him to meditate on their reality or lack of it.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I recently picked Nadja up for the second time. The first time, I had read it looking for fiction inspired by cities. I expected, and found, a story about Paris. The narrator's mad desire for Nadja who is herself quite mad is punctuated by the thoroughly plain unpeopled photographs of the city.

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this started promisingly with some interesting ideas outlining Breton's stated approach, foregrounding the author as the 'object' of the world around him, rather than world-shaper, as in the classical novel. The episodic structure introduced in the section of 'test' anecdotes of city life ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12258151">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Surrealism was Breton's cross to bear and &quot;Nadja&quot; is considered a difficult yet essential surrealist work. This novella is about a young man's romance with a woman who might be considered a clairvoyant with a borderline personality disorder. Keeping with the tenets of Surrealism, the chara...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60524240">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of the most irritating books I have ever read.  Up there with Ayn Rand.  Literature shouldn't go posing as philosophy or propaganda, and vise versa.  There were maybe four decent sentences total.  <br/><br/>Really, really irritating.  Deeply irritating book.    ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So, I had this dream the other night.  I was on a jungle island, looking out to a cloudy ocean.  All of a sudden, a huge black shape rose out of the sea.  What at first looked like a ship turned out to be the wicker-like black skeleton of a giant, old-fashioned sewing machine.  Almost immediately af...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8980873">more...</a>]]></body>
