C'mon /lit/, a crackpot psychic lady files a lawsuit claiming to be Dali's daughter. Jugde rules that Dali's body is to be exhumed, which was carried out two days ago.

>books with this type of absurdism/surrealism

Eco's lighter works spring to mind. Baudolino and Foucault's pendulum both contain a lot of absurd humor, based on crazy shit people actually believe(d), and especially Baudolino reaches surreal levels towards the end.

Some of Vonnegut's scifi has absurd elements. Particularly Sirens of Titan and Slapstick.

Flann O'Brien's first two books, At Swim Two Birds and The Third Policeman, are hilarious, absurd and surreal.

sounds like a Cesar Aira plot

Have you read Dali's books? He's an better writer than he was a painter. Start with The Secret Life of Salvador Dali or Diary of a Genius.

>t. I have never actually looked at a Dali painting.

I've been to the Dali Museum and own some original prints, he's technically brilliant, but his painterly aesthetic is shit. He intentionally pandered to plebs to get rich, and you fell for the meme, pleb.

Genius diarist/performance artist/critic though. His whole life was lived as a great work of art.

>implying Dali wrote his books himself
Newsflash: he didn't. look into it and you'll see why.

Is that a conspiracy theory? I don't see anything about him not writing either of the books I mentioned after searching online.

Wikipedia calls The Secret Life an autobiography, doesn't mention co-author or ghost author.

This.

On a side note, which one is better, /lit/, his early or late works?

>>9789368
no conspiracy, your google fu is just deplorable. stop using wikipedia ffs.
also check the fine print in his books, he probably thanks his co-author.

>>9789387
Just tell me who it is if you know, you lying jealous retard.

French author Michel Déon, since you ask so politely.
>you're welcome

>>9789438
So before he even published a short story he ghost wrote a 400 page autobiography of one of the most famous artists of all time and no one found out? Genius!

Not very good at research, are we, summerfriend?
Dali's first draft was published in English, as I recall, in the US, he pals up with a French journalist and aspiring novelist to rework it into French, resulting in a completely rewritten French text (Dali's written French was an eccentric blend of Catalan and his own invention), which was then used as the source text for most other translations, including later English ones.
And that is what kickstarted the career of that particular French writer. They then went on to collaborate, in a slightly different way, on the second book.

Any further questions because your line of inquiry is growing tiresome?
