A Season with Marianne

Alain Segura

A memoir of the infamous "last Surrealist," Marianne Ivsic. Alain Segura documents their initial meeting in 1967, amid the heady militancy of May '68.

Alain Segura was a teenage anarchist in Paris during the mid-to-late 1960s when he hung around with members of the Enrags and the Situationist International. He was particularly captivated by Yugoslavian militant, poet, and painter Marianne Ivsic, a member of Andr Breton's Surrealist group. It was Guy Debord who approvingly called her "the last surrealist." Segura wrote this book so that Ivsic's life and creative legacy are not forgotten.

A Season with Marianne details the heady days of friendship, rebellion, and creative militancy surrounding May '68, against the backdrop of a colossal split between the Anarchist International and the Situationists in 1967, and the impossible demands of a revolution briefly glimpsed by the author through an encounter with the last surrealist.
