OPTOPHONE (1924) by Francis Picabia, used as the cover illustration for my English translation of André Breton's Soluble Fish, published by Incunabula.
Soluble Fish (1924) by André Breton is a sophisticated poetic novel which is one of the first works of Surrealism, and which, along with The Surrealist Manifesto (1924), began the new literary movement which followed Paris Dada in the decade of the 1920s.
This is the first translation of this important surrealist work since 1969. Breton’s elusive and complex prose is now available to read in clear, modern English. Here is a Breton very different from the dour caricature usually presented to English speaking readers. His prose in Soluble Fish is playful, warm and engaging.

Max Ernst's collage used for the cover of my English translation of Paul Éluard and Max Ernst's Misfortunes of the Immortals, published by Incunabula.
‘Misfortunes of the Immortals’ was Paul Éluard and Max Ernst’s second Surrealist collaboration – their first being ‘Repetitions’, a poetry collection. In ‘Misfortunes of the Immortals’ the image was no longer relegated to the function of mere illustration; Ernst and Éluard reversed the process, so that instead of starting with a text that needed an illustration, Ernst created collages and Éluard then wrote texts based on the images. The publication of ‘Misfortunes of the Immortals’ in 1922 coincided with the transition of Dadaism to Surrealism in Paris.
This is the first twenty-first century English translation of ‘Misfortunes of the Immortals’ and it reveals that the collaboration between Éluard and Ernst was a successful attempt to create surprising juxtapositions, and to negate the notion of the singular author.
