Summary "Lost Profiles is a remembrance of things past by poet and co-founder of the surrealist movement, Philippe Soupault. Beginning with a memoir of his involvement with Dada and his own role in transforming it into surrealism, Soupault takes us on a tour of post-WWI Paris, encountering the likes of Proust, Apollinaire, and Joyce during a seminal period of European culture"-- Provided by publisher.
