Impressions Of Africa Av Raymond Roussel

<p><b>Only edition in print</b><br><br>The first of Roussel’s two major prose works, <i>Impressions of Africa</i> is not, as the title may suggest, a conventional travel account, but an adventure story put together in a highly individual fashion and with an unusual time sequence, whereby the reader is even made to choose whether to begin with the first or the tenth chapter.<br><br>A veritable literary melting pot, Roussel’s groundbreaking text makes ample use of wordplay and the surrealist techniques of automatic writing and private allusion.</p>
