The Challenge of Surrealism

Now appearing in English for the first time, the
correspondence between philosopher Theodor W. Adorno and his graduate student
Elisabeth Lenk provides a rich mine of critical material for reassessing the
significance of the surrealist movement and its successors. Written between
1962 and 1969, these letters are accompanied by a selection of documents that
contextualize their engagement with the art and politics of the period.
