[ED. MORNAY] SALMON, Archives du Club des onze, 1923 Derain

Edition illustrated by a frontispiece by André Derain.
A small aesthetic manifesto, there is the same aesthetic of surprise, the same taste for a story without tail or head, the same construction based on a profound heterogeneity of the chapters. Several chapters are in fact dialogues in verse (Council, Second Council, Congress), others are made up of letters (Correspondence, Recoil).
