This second volume of Dali's collected essays range chronologically from his attempted takeover of the Surrealist movement in Paris, to his final years of celebrity in New York. Further developing his conception of "paranoid-criticism," Dalí expounds on fantastical subjects such as non-Euclidean psychology, spectral sex appeal, and the aerodynamics of blackheads. To this day, Dalí continues to astonish, horrify, and amuse.
