<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>By Philippe Soupault. Translated by William Carlos Williams.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Written in 1928 by one of the founders of the Surrealist movement, and translated the following year by William Carlos Williams (the two had been introduced in Paris by a mutual friend), <i>Last Nights of Paris</i> is related to Surrealist novels such as <i>Nadja</i> and <i>Paris Peasant, </i> but also to the American expatriate novels of its day such as <i>Day of the Locust.</i> The story concerns the narrator's obsession with a woman who leads him into an underworld that promises to reveal the secrets of the city itself ... and in Williams' wonderfully direct translation it reads like a lost Great American Novel. A vivid portrait of the city that entranced both its native writers and the Americans who traveled to it in the 20s, <i>Last Nights of Paris</i> is a rare collaboration between the literary circles at the root of both French and American Modernism
