First Book of Grabinoulor cover

-- First paperback edition. -- Formally inventive and utterly joyous, Grabinoulor recounts the fantastic adventures of its light-hearted, satyric, eponymous hero as he visits other planets, time travels, and finds poetry everywhere he goes. -- Grabinoulor has been praised highly by authors as diverse as Apollinaire, Celine, and Queneau. -- Albert-Birot founded and edited one of the first avant-garde book reviews, SIC, which published the futurists, the Dadaists, and the Surrealists. Grabinoulor was first published in its pages. -- First U.S. edition by Dalkey Archive ('87).

"The book is a valuable document in the development of Dada and surrealism." -- PW
