Why read it?
1 author picked The Dance of Reality as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Discovering the art of Alejandro Jodorowsky helped me to remove limitations from my own art. It was a joy to discover his work and it was a further joy to discover that his life has been just as uncompromising, surreal, and magical as his art. He has hung out with circus people, shamans, great artists (Marcel Marceau, Leonora Carrington, Jean Giraud… the list goes on). His novels, autobiographies, comic books, movies, and pictures are all fantastic.
From Mike's list on surreal, magical, and mind-expanding stories.
