First published in 2002. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
The concept of the Absurd was a source of fascination for artists and intellectuals throughout the twentieth century. Two interpretations in particular were to provide major reference points for French writers in the 1920s and 1930s: the Surrealist ''free functioning of thought'', and the existential critique of rational discourse elaborated by Leon Chestov(1866-1938) and Benjamine Fondane(1898-1944). In this highly original study, Fotiade examines the less familiar existential line, and shows that Chestov and Fondane''s project found both support and illustration in the force-field of the Surrealist movement. the work of such dissident writers as Antonin Artuad, Roger Gilbert-Lecomte and Rene Daumal takes on wider intellectual context.
