Hebdomeros with Monseiur Dudron's Adventure and Other

Hebdomeros with Monseiur Dudron's Adventure and Other Metaphysical Writings

The artist Giorgio de Chirico's novel, Hebdomeros is a dream-like book of situations and landscapes reminiscent of his paintings. In his introduction John Ashbery calls the book â€œthe finest work of Surrealist fiction,â€ noting that de Chirico â€œinvented for the occasion a new style and a new kind of novel... his long run-on sentences, stitched together with semi-colons, allow a cinematic freedom of narration... his language, like his painting, is invisible: a transparent but dense medium containing objects that are more real than reality.â€ Hebdomeros is accompanied by an appendix of previously untranslated or uncollected writings, including M. Dudron's Adventure, a second, fragmentary novel translated by John Ashbery.
