UNU was an outlier in the avant-garde, never proclaiming itself surrealist, although the French adopted it as such. Many of the contributors were aligned with the surrealist movement, which led to the expulsion from it because they didn't conform to the political stances determined by Breton. This number was distributed with a sheet of black paper as a symbol of the night. It features a work by Stephan Roll, under the pseudonym Jack the Ripper in a declaration written under the throes of night. OCLC locates two holdings in North America (Yale, Getty). UNU numbers were published in small quantities. They are quite rare.
