Reviews

“This book should have appeal for almost anyone who has ever heard of or is interested in Dalí himself, or even in the type of art which he represents and of which he has become one of its best known and most notorious representatives. The translation respects the original in form, content, and spirit, but at the same time gives its readers in English an appealing version of the text.”—Vincent Cantarino,Ohio State University

“What Rojas offers, in addition to a vast synthesis of pre-existing documentation, is objectivity of attitude (to his sources as well as his subject), and a blend of the approaches of the novelist and the critic, a creative interpretation.”—Janet Pérez,Texas Tech University
