"The Diary of a Genius" (French: "Journal d'un genie") is a kind of memoir by Salvador Dali, written by the artist in the period from 1952 to 1963 and published in Paris in 1964. At that time, Dali was already world famous, and his new book is both a creative manifesto and an attempt to explain or even justify in the eyes of the public the image he cultivated of a "genuine genius of our time" who had the misfortune to be born in the "era of almost dwarfs." The full text of the diary is enriched by marginal appendices provided by the author himself for the first edition: "The Science of Bzdum", "Praise to the Fly", "Dalian mysticism ...", as well as a comparative table of the merits of artists of the past and the future. The book includes an updated insert with black and white photographs.
