'The Edge of Surrealism' is an essential introduction to the writing
of French social theorist Roger Caillois. Caillois was part of the
Surrealist avant-garde and in the 1930s founded the College of
Sociology with Georges Bataille and Michel Leiris. He spent his life
exploring issues raised by this famous group and by Surrealism
itself. Though his subjects were diverse, Caillois focused on
concerns crucial to modern intellectual life, and his essays offer a
unique perspective on many of twentieth-century France's most
significant intellectual movements and figures.
