Another book I keep at my shack in Michigan. Last summer I read the first half and after being back at the shack now for a couple months I have finally completed my assignment. Dali was one very strange dude. I elaborate about his person and my newly-discovered ideas he had about religion here:

This book reads like a Dali painting. Dali talks about the early parts of his life including intra-uterine memories and false childhood memories. A must read written in Dali's unique style for all fans of surrealism. ( )

Outrageous but absolutely engaging "autobiography" of the artist who famously said,"The only difference between myself and a mad man is that I am not mad."
One of my two favourite books of all. ( )

"flagrantly dishonest"

"his autobiography is simply a strip-tease act conducted in pink limelight"

"If it were possible for a book to give a physical stink off its pages, this one would"

"the two facts that Dalí is a good draughtsman and a disgusting human being"
added by GYKM | editThe Saturday Book, George Orwell
 
"The question has always been: Is Dalí crazy? The book indicates that Dalí is as crazy as a fox."

"one of the most irresistible books of the year"

Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0486274543, Paperback)

This startling early autobiography takes Dalí through his late 30s and "communicates the snobbishness, self-adoration, comedy, seriousness, fanaticism, in short the concept of life and the total picture of himself (Dalí) sets out to portray" — Books. Superbly illustrated with over 80 photographs and scores of Dalí drawings and sketches.
