Ralph Rumney has been in constant flight from the wreckage of postwar Europe. Crossing paths with every avant-garde of the past fifty years, he was one of the founding members of the Situationist International. Rumney's traveling companions--Guy Debord, Yves Klein, Marcel Duchamp, Georges Bataille, William Burroughs, Felix Guattari, E.P. Thompson, and many others--are recalled here with sharp intelligence and dry wit.
