In Alive Among Dead Stars, A C Clarke brings a fragmented poetic exploration of the emergence of Dadaism and Surrealism in post-World War I Paris, viewed through the lens of key figures like Paul Éluard, Gala, and Salvador Dalí. The collection parallels the turbulence of personal relationships with the political and social upheavals in Europe between the wars. Structured around the Dadaist and Surrealist techniques of 'Erasure', 'Collage', and 'Paranoia', it reflects the disillusionment with old traditions and the chaotic creativity born from the horrors of the Great War. Alive Among Dead Stars weaves real historical moments with fictional elements to capture the shifting, surreal atmosphere of the time.
