What is the author's tone in Mad Love by Andre Breton?

Mad Love is a difficult book, in no small part because much of it comes in the form of automatic writing. Automatic writing was an important tool of surrealist authors as they believed it could tap into the unconscious mind and reveal new and profound connections. But as Mad Love relies so heavily on these connections — connections of Breton's mind — the book does not have a traditional or logical argument to it. The novel also demands a fairly solid grasp of French literary history and surrealist and political history as Breton makes allusions to other authors' works with little or no explanation.
