In the 1920s, these poems caught the interest of André Breton and the other Paris-based Surrealists, who published George Bataille's translations of some of the fatrasies in La Révolution surréaliste no.6. More than any other works of their time, the fatrasies and fatras created a new poetic language, one that captures, as Bettina Full writes, \"the fullness, fleeting and mortal, of all human life.\" Often compared with avant-garde poetry of the twentieth century, these small marvels from the medieval world have never before been translated into English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Byrne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1733892435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733892438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Widow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Ted Byrne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48807905329407,"sku":"9781733892438","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-flea-the-size-of-ted-byrne-9781733892438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
