Dernier malheur

"The Golden Age" Collection.

"The Occupation had forced many French men of letters to seek exile. In the last days of 1941, Benjamin Péret took refuge in Mexico City, where, a few months later, he would write Dernier malheur dernière chance.In this long poem, which does not deal with Amerindian subject matter, one can sense the intense artistic and ideological tensions that dominated the Parisian literary scene, especially in the months preceding the outbreak of the European conflagration. This essay attempts to explore Péret's culture."
