Publisher's Synopsis
Alain Segura's memoir of Marianne Ivsic from their initial meeting in 1967 when the author first encountered Guy Debord and others in the situationist milieu.
Alain Segura was a teenage anarchist in Paris during the mid- and late-1960s when he hung around with members of the Enragés and the Situationist International. He soon met and was captivated by a Yugoslavian militant, poet, and painter named Marianne Ivsic, who joined André Breton's Surrealist Group. It was Guy Debord who approvingly called her "the last surrealist." Segura wrote this book so that the memory of Marianne Ivsic, her life and legacy, is not forgotten, despite her own wishes.
A Season with Marianne details these heady days of friendship, rebellion, and creative militancy surrounding May '68, against the backdrop of a colossal split between the Anarchist International and the Situationists in 1967, and the impossible demands of a revolution briefly glimpsed.
