The first monograph on a groundbreaking Surrealist masterpiece, Reading Claude Cahun's Disavowals offers a comprehensive account of Cahun's most important published work, Aveux non avenus (Disavowals). This study pays careful attention to the complex interrelationship between the photomontages and writings of Aveux non avenus, and explores how Cahun's work calls into question both the dominant culture of interwar France and the avant-garde of the era.
