|comment=Wonderful review which has captured very well the essence of the book. It is
really the story of Alice and her father when he was hunting for
Indian/American artefacts. What subterfuge he used to convince the tribes to
give away - or sell for the price of a few bottles of alcohol - their
sacred masks and puppets for the sake of a surrealist collector (Breton) and
the revenge taken by the child on behalf of her Indian friends as she
witnessed the theft. The writing is indeed beautiful and poetic. I read it
in French and I'm happy to see that its music equally appeals in its English
translation!
