Synopsis

What is "mad love," and how do you find it? Surrealist pioneer André Breton searches for the answer not in grand gestures, but in the strange beauty of chance encounters and discarded objects. Follow him through the streets of Paris and a flea market as he explores how everyday life can open up into the marvelous. This book is a unique blend of autobiography, poetry, and philosophy that redefines the meaning of love.
