Hi, Jonathan

On the Lettrist texts there are some works publsihed in english, but I
would refer you first to the 'Lettriste pages':

http://www.thing.net/~grist/l&d/lettrist/lettrist.htm

and to the Debord/Wolman discurssion 'Why Lettrism'

http://www.unpopular.org.uk/lettrism/whylettrism.html

Best,
