Surrealist poet Robert Desnos
 

Crary has some admiration for "the Surrealist poet Robert Desnos, known for his ability to fall into deep trance-like sleeps, during which he uttered verbal outpourings of dream imagery"
 
Desnos may be an influence on Chris Marker or alluded to in Marker's La Jette
 
deported to Auschwitz in 1944, died of typhus shortly after war's end
