Summary

"The Surrealist's life story is told through the character of Charles Singulier, who one day makes the fanciful - and, as we'll learn, fateful - decision to buy a bowler hat. It ... once belonged to René Magritte, and by donning it Charles has unwittingly entered the artist's unbridled, off-kilter world. What follows is a remarkable exploration of Magritte's imaginative landscape. Zabus and Campi examine the ideas and penetrate the mysteries of a paradoxical figure: a painter who didn't like to paint; an instinctive anarchist who lived a suburban, petty bourgeois existence; a lonely, melancholy soul never far from his friends and collaborators."--Publisher's website
