Sex, Surrealism, Dali and Me was first published in 2000 and was a top-10 bestseller a year later.
It tells the biographies of two remarkable men. Salvador Dali, one of the twentieth centuries' greatest painters, and his long-term muse - the Colombian dancer Carlos Lozano.
Dali was famously a voyeur and in this extraordinary book we are witnesses to the bizarre sexual fantasies he lived out among celebrities, aristocrats, enemies and the plain crazy.
"The Surrealist painter deliberately lived his life to complement his deceptive and illusory art. By the end, it was so close to being a confidence trick in itself that historians and biographers have had to struggle to separate fact from the sexual fantasy. Sex, Surrealism, Dali and Me is now set to bring the voice of an eye witness to the Salvador Dali myth - and to all the orgiastic gossip about the past."
