Salvador Dalì&;s (1904&;89) surrealist paintings such as The Persistence of Memory and The Metamorphosis of Narcissus are internationally beloved for their unforgettable images and eccentric metaphors for the human condition. His lesser-known but equally intriguing writings, on the other hand, are remarkably coarse, describing human bodies and evocations of sexuality with a bewildering mixture of crude realism and naïve simplicity.

Dalì and Me is an account by art historian and controversial author Catherine Millet of a highly personal encounter with the artist&;s celebrated paintings and self-reflective writings. One of the first studies of the notoriously idiosyncratic artist&;s essays, this revolutionary book reveals all the narcissism, anxiety, and visual genius of the most famous&;and infamous&;of the surrealists.
Based on years of scrupulous research into Dalì&;s life and art yet deeply enriched by Millet&;s autobiographical journey, this landmark volume uncovers the reverberations of Dalì&;s influence on his friends and contemporaries. In its explorations of both Millet&;s and Dalì&;s inner workings, Dalì and Me ultimately becomes an argument in book form that personal involvement can be the key to understanding one of the most compelling oeuvres in art history.
