Description
This early autobiography, which takes Dalí through his late thirties, is as startling and unpredictable as his art. On its first publication, the reviewer of Books observed: "It is impossible not to admire this painter as writer. . . (Dalí) succeeds in doing exactly what he sets out to do. . . communicates the snobbishness, self-adoration, comedy, seriousness, fanaticism, in short the concept of life and the total picture of himself he sets out to portray. " Superbly illustrated with over eighty photographs of Dalí and his works, and scores of Dalí drawings and sketches.
