(another painter), revealing (at least partially) the rousselienne formula, which can't be fortuitous : « RELIVE YOUR DREAMS AWAKE » ( Revis tes rêves en éveil). Criticism and legacy Perhaps not surprisingly, Roussel was unpopular during his lifetime and critical reception of his works was almost unanimously negative. Nevertheless, he was admired by the Surrealist group and other avant-garde writers, particularly Michel Leiris, André Breton, and Marcel Duchamp. He began to be rediscovered in the late 1950s, by the Oulipo and Alain Robbe-Grillet. His most direct influence in the English speaking world was on the New York School of poets; John Ashbery, Harry Mathews, James Schuyler, and Kenneth Koch briefly edited a magazine called Locus Solus after his novel. French theorist Michel Foucault's only book-length work of literary criticism is on Roussel. French philosopher Gilles Deleuze uses Raymond Roussel's works as one of many examples of repetition in his 1968 work Difference and Repetition. A comprehensive exhibition of Roussel's achievements entitled "Locus Solus" was exhibited within the Fundação de Serralves in Porto opening on 24 March 2012. Special attention was granted to his personal connections with Man Ray, Salvador Dalí, and Marcel Duchamp, who observed that Roussel was "he who pointed the way". References to New Impressions of Africa are central to the science-fiction novel The Embedding by Ian Watson (winner of the Prix Apollo in 1975). Roussel (or a version of him) is a major character in the novel The Vorrh by B. Catling. In 2016, The Raymond Roussel Society was founded in New York by John Ashbery, Michel Butor, Joan Bofill-Amargós, Miquel Barceló, Thor Halvorssen, and Hermes Salceda.
