McGirk successfully strikes a balance in drawing on the extraordinary character of Gala Dali who cooked and ate her pet rabbits, rejected her daughter and, in McGirk‘s words ‘was bad-tempered, obnoxious, coarse & greedy‘, while also illustrating how Dali‘s art would never have materialised without her. A fascinating read about a unique woman and her dysfunctional 50-yr relationship with the prominent serialist. Also worth a read for non Dali fans.

Two more on kindle to add to these 7 books currently on the go. Trying to prioritise. Over half way through Wicked Lady - on life of Salvador Dali‘s partner, Gala. John Reid - lost my place a few months ago. It‘s dense so trying to find a way back in is putting me off. Svetlana Alexievich, as brilliant as it is it does get a little repetitive. Simone de Beauvoir I‘m only 50 pages in having previously abandoned another of hers. Decisions, decisions
