Aye, I didn't feel like this review gave me anything useful. A good book which does explain why surrealism matters would be "The politics of surrealism" by Lewis. It would be nice if, in all the meandering musings on Waldberg and Chouca, some mention was made of how the book under review compared with other books on the same subject. Instead, the author of the review seems to need to establish their bonafides before telling us how the author of the book is wrong, and that surrealism doesn't matter when it comes to the struggles of today (see the paragraph starting "Polizzotti wants..."). But hey, at least he is gatekeeping in the style of Breton!
