LIFE AMONG THE SURREALISTS, by Matthew Josephson (403 pp.: Holt, Rinehart & Winston; $6). Matthew Josephson roared through the '20s like the New Culture Special, stopping here for some Dada nihilism, there for surrealistic analysis and along the way meeting up with Andre Breton, Louis Aragon, Max Ernst, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Malcolm Cowley, Katherine Anne Porter and Hart Crane.

And so he calls back to the stand two people convicted under the Nazis: Rudolf Petersen, who was 'legally' castrated under the sterilization decrees, and Irene Hoffman, whose friendship had cost an elderly Jewish man his life. As Rolfe begins retrying these people, Janning is stirred into a recognition and awareness of his own complicity...
