A fascinating autobiographical work, Diary of a Genius presents an intimate and unfiltered window into the life of Salvador Dalí, one of the most iconic and eccentric figures of the Surrealist movement. Spanning the years 1952 to 1963, the diary chronicles Dalí's daily rituals, creative processes, and philosophical musings with the same theatrical brilliance that defined his art. Written in his characteristically flamboyant and self-mythologising style, Dalí presents himself as a divine being set apart from ordinary mortals, offering readers both genuine artistic insight and calculated provocation. The text illustrates how Dalí navigated fame, his deep bond with muse and wife Gala, and his relentless pursuit of immortality through art. A must-read for admirers of Surrealism and those curious about the inner workings of one of the twentieth century's most singular creative minds.
