Nadja

Front Cover
Gallimard, 1963 - French fiction - 189 pages
The narrator, named André, ruminates on a number of Surrealist principles before ultimately relating his ten-day relationship with the titular character, a young mentally ill woman named Nadja. After Nadja reveals too many details of her past life, she becomes demystified, and the narrator "distances himself from her corporeal form and descends into a meandering rumination on her absence, so much so that one wonders if her absence offers him greater inspiration than does her presence."
