Journal inactuel de l'oubli

Accompanying the reissue of the anthology of the Arab surrealist review, The Libertarian Desire, we publish the autobiography of Abdulkader El Janabi which was the main driving force and is now a key figure of the history of surrealism. In this lively and poetic story, El Janabi returns just as much to his youth in Baghdad in the 50s, his first carnal and cinematic loves than on the continuation of his journey, in London among the hippies and the Trotskyists, in Vienna and finally in Paris, where his poetic and political intransigence would finally find an anchor point its measure.
