SEGURA, Alain. A Season with Marianne: The Last Surrealist. Trans. Bill Brown. Brooklyn: Common Notions, Dec. 2024

We are excited to announce the translation of Une saison avec Marianne, to be released in December 2024 by Common Notions (who also published our book a few years ago). Best remembered as the author of the iconic May’68 leaflet Nous ne sommes rien soyons tout (trans: We are nothing, we shall be everything), little else was previously known about the “Yugoslav comrade”.

A member of Breton’s surrealist, a friend of Debord (who dubbed her “the last surrealist”), Marianne Ivsic was at the heart of the artistic and political turmoil of late 1960s Paris. In this fascinating memoir, Alain Segura remembers his encounters with Ivsic, shedding light on a life full of love, passion, creativity, and militancy. An important and most welcome contribution to the history of May 1968, Surrealism, and the Situationist International
