This massive and meticulously researched book (over 600 pages) is the first comprehensive critical research work in English to fully excavate Mansour’s life, art, and philosophical rebellion. It is “a profound existential statement”—a complete rejection of the tame, the logical, and the conventional. The Enigma of Cairo: Born in England and raised in Cairo’s aristocratic Zamalek district, Joyce Mansour lived a double life that led to “existential and social fragmentations”. She transcended her upbringing, becoming a “Tuberose Baby Girl”—the unique nickname bestowed upon her by André Breton himself. Her journey from the French-speaking salons of Cairo, through the tragedy of losing her mother and first husband, fueled a poetic revolution of her own making, before she even settled in Paris. This book documents her essential role as Breton’s “preferred daily companion” and one of the core forces driving the final, most dynamic phase of the Paris Surrealist Group.
