Les Clowns.

Bookseller Notes

Inscribed by the author on the half-title: 'Pour Georges Sadoul, cet essai sur un monde o il y a tant de choses dire l'ami et au camarade'. The bookplate of the recipient, designed by Max Ernst no less, is on the flyleaf. Sadoul was a surrealist, associated for a time with Nancy Cunard and her Hours Press, but his lasting legacy has been his writing on the history of film. The use of the word 'camarade' has a political basis - reflecting their shared Marxist beliefs, manifest in Rmy`s case in his interest in proletarian literature and performance.An advance copy (printed 'S.P.', i.e. 'Service de Presse', to backstrip and rear cover), with the original prospectus for this work laid in.
