This is the first-length account of Roussels life and oeuvre in English.

Mark Ford, himself a poet, traces the evolution of Roussels bizarre compositional methods, and describes the idiosyncrasies of a life structured as obsessively as his work. The story he tells is at once enchanting, heart-breaking and scarcely credible. Could even Proust or Nabokov, one feels at its conclusion, have invented a character as peculiar and unforgettable as the exquisite dandy and compulsive writer this book brings to life?--BOOK JACKET. Raymond Roussel And The Republic Of Dreams by Mark Ford
