Food & surrealism make perfect bedfellows: sex & lobsters, collage & cannibalism, the meeting of a swan & a toothbrush on a pastry case. The opulent dinner parties thrown by Salvador Dali (1904-1989) & his wife & muse, Gala (1894-1982) were the stuff of legend.

` As compelling as it is tough, sidestepping piety in favour of clear-eyed infectious anger` Sunday Times Irene Dalila Mwathi comes from Kenya with a brutally violent personal history. Once she wanted to be a journalist, now all she wants is to be safe. When she finally arrives, bewildered, in London, she is attacked by the very people paid to protect her, & she has no choice but to step out on her own into this strange new world. Through a dizzying array of interviews, lawyer`s meetings, regulations & detention centres, she realises that what she faces may be no less dangerous than the violence she has fled.
