"Lost Profiles: Memoirs of Cubism, Dada, and Surrealism
is a diminutive, stylish book that kicks off by appreciatively
documenting a curiously seedy period of transition within the
anti-rationalist French avant-garde: from Dada to Surrealism. Published
by legendary City Lights in late 2016, this alluring collection of
amiable reminiscences was penned by co-founding Surrealist poet Philippe Soupault
(1897–1990) and first appeared in French in 1963 as Profils perdus.
City Lights has bracketed this English translation with an introduction
by Mark Polizzotti, the director of the publications program at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, and an afterword by poet Ron Padgett. ..."
