Literary Nonfiction. Fiction. Biography. Conscripted into the French Army in World War One, Jacques Vache soon became not only the unsurpassed champion of 'Desertion from Within,' but also the master of 'Disservice with Diligence.' His posthumous slim book, War Letters (1919)included in the present volumeis a classic of surrealist antimilitarism and subversion. Renowned as the Inventor of Umour (Humour without the H), Vache wasalong with Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautreamontthe major inspirer of Andre Breton and the surrealist revolution. The first of its kind in English, this book chronicles Vache's boundless originality, creative nonconformity, revolutionary morality (or umorality), and his allout turntheworldupsidedown hilarity. Welcomed by Andre Breton himself into the Paris Surrealist Group in 1966, Franklin Rosemont took part in the Paris group's activities for several months and went on to coorganize the Chicago Surrealist Group later that year. Rosemont (19432009) died earlier this year.
