Summary
Sex, Surrealism, Dali and Me was first published in 2000 and was a top-10 best-seller a year later.
It tells the biographies of two remarkable men. Salvador Dali, one of the 20th century's greatest painters, and his long-term muse - the Colombian dancer Carlos Lozano.
Dali was famously a voyeur, and in this extraordinary audiobook, we are witnesses to the bizarre sexual fantasies he lived out among celebrities, aristocrats, enemies, and the plain crazy.
Carlos Lozano's sexy eyewitness account of life with Dali is described in a colorful, energetic style that touches the sublime and the magnificent. The combination of his story and the breathtaking style of his collaborator, the award-winning writer Clifford Thurlow, combine to create an audiobook that is truly memorable.
"For once, names are named and the veil of hype and mystique that so often surrounded Dali is blown away for all to see. Once we started, we couldn't put it down!" (International Art & Literature Journal, April 2000)

Critic reviews
"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." (Vanessa Thorpe, The Observer)

A Delight
I know this book very well in its written form and enjoyed hearing it read even more. Salvador Dalí is witty, funny, and outrageous. Pete Nottage captures the humour perfectly and brings the story to life. I am new to audible and thrilled to discover Sex, Surrealism, Dalí and Me all over again.

A must read for anyone interested in Dali and Surrealism
An imersive insight into the Cadaqués clique, with Salvador Dali at the center. Fascinating insight into the Surrealist era, bringing art to life. I liked the descriptive passages especially, they are beautifully written to bring this Catalan corner of Spain in its heyday to life. But brace yourself for Shocking and frank revelations of Dali’s private life too. Carlos’ own story within the book is equally fascinating, it’s cleverly woven together to take the listener from Colombia to LA to Paris to Cadaqués.

Genuinely Moving
Pete Nottage doesn't merely bring "Sex, Surrealism, Dali and Me" to life, he gives the story wings and provides a genuinely moving rendition of Carlos Lozano's magical memories of life with the great surrealist painter Salvador Dali.
Sometimes a great book is turned into an awful movie. Sometimes, a great filmmaker turns a mediocre book into a wonderful film. Every story has its best medium. The combination of Nottage's well-paced, smooth, sometimes surprised and joyous style has established what I believe is the best medium for this biography.

Never trust an Englishman.
I am English and Dali did say never to trust one.
However I thoroughly enjoyed this Audiobook and the way it has been written and read is of a high standard and flows with resonance from start until the end.
There is a good selection of eye opening moments along the way, for this reason alone you must consider this book for a to do listen.
