    <body><![CDATA[More a treatise on how to be ghostly than anything else, Nadja is Andre Breton’s highly wrought elaboration of his brief relationship with a mysterious (possibly mad?) young woman. For those with a taste for, or an interest in, coincidences (as I am), this book can be highly intoxicating and actually mind altering, meaning it can have a direct effect on how and what you see as you go about your days and nights walking around (preferably through a city with “atmosphere”). This intoxication is a result of most of the book occurring within Breton’s mind, with Nadja and Paris (&amp; a few surrealists) making occasional cameo appearances, so reading this book is akin to walking around within the highly charged and receptive ionic cloud that Breton intentionally made of his mind.<br/><br/>I demote it one star for Breton’s sometimes annoying oracular tone.<br/>]]></body>
