More a treatise on how to be ghostly than anything else, Nadja is Andre Breton鈥檚 highly wrought elaboration of his brief relationship with a mysterious (possibly mad?) young woman. For those with a taste for, or an interest in, coincidences (as I am), this book can be highly intoxicating and actually mind altering, meaning it can have a direct effect on how and what you see as you go about your days and nights walking around (preferably through a city with 鈥渁tmosphere鈥�). This intoxication is a result of most of the book occurring within Breton鈥檚 mind, with Nadja and Paris (& a few surrealists) making occasional cameo appearances, so reading this book is akin to walking around within the highly charged and receptive ionic cloud that Breton intentionally made of his mind.

I demote it one star for Breton鈥檚 sometimes annoying oracular tone.
