About the author
Gisèle Prassinos
42 books11 followersGisèle Prassinos (born 1920) is a French writer of Greek and Italian origin, associated with the surrealist movement.
She was born in Constantinople, Turkey and emigrated to France with her family at the age of two, where they lived in Paris. Her brother Mario Prassinos (1916 - 1985) was a noted artist and designer.
Her writing was discovered by André Breton in 1934, when she was just fourteen, and published in the French surrealist magazine Minotaure and the Belgian periodical Documents 34. Her first book, La Sauterelle arthritique (The Arthritic Grasshopper) was published in 1935 with a preface by Paul Éluard and a photograph by Man Ray.
Marianne van Hirtum observed that the surrealists of the time recognised these early writings as a "veritable illustration of automatic language par excellence".
After World War II Prassinos's association with organised surrealism was limited, but she has continued to publish widely.

Použiji velmi subjektivní slova - bylo to milené. Podobně jako řeka má své přítoky, které zbytňují proud, vytvořila Prassinos linii příběhu s několika přítoky vyprávění ve vyprávění, přičemž ani jeden z nich nelze považovat za méněcenný, protože vynechat jediný by znamenalo zastínit důležitý fakt v konečném rozuzlení. Technokratický surrealismus se na jednu stranu staticky odráží v hlavní zápletce příběhu, tedy událostí kolem muže, který má namísto mozku velmi propracovaný hodinový stroj, na straně druhé pak dynamicky v imaginativních reminiscencích hrdinky vyprávění.

Taková rubatovsky milá surreálná oddychovka s lehkým nádechem Pěny dní. Příběh hlavní hrdinky, která je provdána na slepo za vědce s umělým mozkem se rozvine jak štrůdl, kterej sem jednou upekl a úplně se mi rozpad a nedal se žrát. Tohle bylo o dost lepší než můj štrůdl. 7/10.

Surréaliste, facile à lire.
