Book Reviews of Maldoror and Poems (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: the beginning of surrealism?
Summary: 5 Stars

this book is demented-it's a halucinatory trip through the deranged mind of Maldoror - who is by turns the hero, villian, and narrator of the book. Maldoror describes attrocities, blasphemies, and bestial-ecstacies in a poetic style that is beautiful, even while the subject matter is sickening. It's kind of plotless and dreamlike, but it sucks you in from the first page. I think this book is incredible, but it does contain some of the most graphic violence I have ever read......... so be warned!
