Reader Reviews:
Wicked! (3/12 people found this helpful)
This is one of the most wicked books ever written!
A masterwork of dark literature. (11/12 people found this helpful)
As savage as it is beautiful, as challenging as it is rewarding, Les Chants de Maldoror is an inspired and disquieting exploration of the evil humans are capable of. I have read several translations, and this one is by far the best.
Intensly strange, yet gripping and influential. (7/8 people found this helpful)
Isador DuCasse aka Le Compte de Lautremont is a great relatively unknown master who influenced the surrealists with Les Chants De Maldoror. An extended prose poem that destroy its own context (or total lack thereof). It can be looked on as either a great work or complete and total nonsense; I choose the former.
