Als tiener hoort Alice stemmen. Ze zeggen dat ze niks waard is, een mislukking. In haar dromen ziet ze dat een meisje seksueel wordt misbruikt en wanneer ze wakker wordt, is ze blij dat zíj dat meisje niet is. Naarmate de jaren verstrijken worden de nachtmerries steeds schokkender, gedetailleerder en… échter. Wanneer ze naar zichzelf in de spiegel kijkt, verandert haar gezicht in een masker. Het lijkt alsof iemand anders uit háár ogen kijkt.
Carlos Lozano's sexy, eyewitness account of life with Dali is described in a colourful, 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 a book 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! EXHIBIT:A - International Art & Literature Journal, April 2000 -- EXHIBIT:A - International Art & Literature Journal, April 2000 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. Lozano's book 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 February 20th, 2000.
