James Baldwin - Jimmy wanted Ava to come and join him picketing outside Arthur Miller’s play “After The Fall” because it was so mean to Marilyn Monroe. Salvador Dali dropping by. Dali brings rhinoceros horn at the tip of which is a candied violet for Ava. Some of that surrealism. Ava takes the candied violet and eats it.” (Lee Server, “Love Is Nothing”)
