  2. Thanks Pierre. I found some photography mags from the 30s and 40s so should be able to post some good stuff soon. These were leftovers from the first Artaud post (and I don't remember why the the scans turned out so bad).

    Also, typo in the blog title fixed! Oof.

  4. Thanks, Will. Love Artaud.

    I'm thinking about translating some Jahnn stuff. Thought you'd be interested. I'll keep you updated.

  7. I didn't realize Lotar took those photos of Bataille in priest garb on the set of Renoir's Partie de campagne (I should try to see that movie).

    Belatedly, Matt -- I would love to see your Jahnn translations (not sure how to get in touch with you to nag)!
