This collection contains most of the extraordinary stories of the American surrealist Montagu O’Reilly. A lifelong friend of the artist, Joseph Cornell, their works share many characteristics: at once nostalgic yet modern — highly wrought distillations which revolve around fantastic, obsessional events.

These Proustian-Leninist fictions originally appeared in magazines such as Transition, View and New Directions. Their seemless blend of surrealism and the fin-de-siecle is quite unique.
