G14 - Jacques Vaché and the Roots of Surrealism | Franklin Rosemont

An exploration of the man who arguably invented the modern "attitude" of nihilistic detachment without ever bothering to write a book. Jacques Vaché’s war letters influenced André Breton so profoundly they sparked the Surrealist movement, yet Vaché remained a ghost, committed only to "umore" and a final, fatal dose of opium.
