Piper Strong thinks she’s scored her dream job when she’s promoted to weather producer. Glorified babysitter is more like it—she’s now responsible for bringing Asher back to shore. The problem is she’s afraid of the water, and she wasn’t counting on her growing attraction to Asher. But if Piper can just weather this storm, she'll be able to carve out a career to be proud of—and maybe even a place in her heart for love....

Originally published in France in 1934, Break of Day is Andrä Breton?s second collection of critical and polemical essays, following The Lost Steps (Nebraska 1996). In fewer than two hundred pages, it captures the first full decade of the surrealist movement. The collection opens with an essay composed in 1924 that examines key elements of surrealism and concludes with Breton?s harsh revaluation in 1933 of automatic writing. ø Among the other essays in the volume are ?Burial Denied? and ?In Self-Defense,? two pieces that, in translator Mark Polizzotti?s words, ?mark surrealism?s conscious break from the mainstream and the beginning of its attempts to work alongside the French Communist Party.? Also included are ?Psychiatry Standing before Surrealism,? which addresses Breton?s complex, ambivalent views on mental illness and the emerging psychiatric establishment; ?Introduction to Achim von Arnim's Strange Tales,? which reveals surrealism?s debt to such precursors as the German romantics and delineates a surrealistic aesthetic of the macabre; and ?Picasso in His Element,? in which Breton demonstrates his formidable talents as a critic of the visual arts.
