Correspondance is the name of a Belgian Surrealist magazine published in 1924-1925 by Paul Noug�, Camille Goemans, and Marcel Lecomte. It is considered as seminal as Breton's �Surrealist Manifesto� (1924). The texts were tart, obscure responses to the arcane literary debates of the time, in particular those underway in Andr� Breton's circle in Paris. Twenty-two issues of Correspondance were printed, in a modernist typeface on different color papers, and were distributed by mail to selected recipients. Unlike their Parisian associates, the Belgians made an explicit choice against the book as a host medium for literary and other experiments. Noug�, the chief theorist, and his colleagues remained suspicious throughout their careers not only of commercialized literature, but also of literature itself, which they saw as a means to political action, never a goal in itself. Although little recognized, Belgian Surrealists and Correspondance, their earliest manifestation, remain anticipatory and influential in modernist writing practice, especially for their ephemeral style of publishing (proto-mail art) and their intentional plagiarisms (precursor to Situationist d�tournement).
