Join us for the September meeting of Les Copains du Mardi where we will be discussing Le surréalisme by Édition ABCdaire.

This month, we delve into the revolutionary world of Surrealism to explore how it reshaped 20th-century thought. This guide provides a clear overview of the movement’s origins, key figures, and its focus on the power of the subconscious. We are using this text to lay the intellectual groundwork for our October discussion on André Breton. It is an excellent resource for understanding how dream-like imagery and irrationality became tools for artistic expression.

Les Copains du Mardi is a book club for advanced/fluent speakers of French. Organized by one of our longtime members, Cindy Marrs, Les Copains usually meets offsite at a member’s house and has space for around eight individuals. If you are interested in joining, please contact Cindy to see if there is room. You may reach her by email at lbmarrs@gmail.com.
