About This Book

" ... Ernst's first collage novel. It features a loosely narrative sequence of uncanny Surrealist collages, made by cutting up and reassembling nineteenth-century illustrations, accompanied by Ernst's equally strange captions. Ernst's French title, La Femme 100 têtes, is a double entendre; when read aloud it can be understood as either 'the hundred-headed woman' or 'the headless woman.' Along with this enigmatic title character, the book marks the introduction of Ernst's favorite alter ego, Loplop, 'the Bird Superior'"--Museum of Modern Art website, viewed May 8, 2019.
