Unica Zurn was a German author and artist, the companion of surrealist artist Hans Bellmer. She suffered from schizophrenia and met a tragic end, leaping from the window of their apartment. She wrote three autobiographical pieces--"Sombre printemps", "L'Homme Jasmin" and "Vacances a Maison Blanche", exploring her erotic life as a child, her initiation into adult sexuality and her experience of "amour fou". Jean-Claude Marceau traces Zurn's troubled life and the history of "L'Homme Jasmi" in the light of Lacanian psychoanalysis.

The text is in French. Very good .
