The first surrealist romance, the principle narrative of Nadja is an account of the author's relationship with a girl in the city of Paris. The first-person narrative is supplemented by forty-four photographs of various surreal people, places, and objects which the author visits or is haunted by in Nadjar's presence, and which inspire him to meditate on their reality or lack of it.
