El libro m�s personal de Pedro Almod�var: un autorretrato articulado en doce relatos que revelan su pasi�n secreta por la escritura
«Un libro de hallazgos. Que Almodovar era un gran escritor ya lo sab�a, s�lo hac�a falta descubrir desde cuando. De la infancia hasta anteayer, su escritura nos lleva de la mano por un bosque sorprendente. Nacer al rev�s, (al final), y vivir para atr�s es s�lo uno de sus talentos. Hay m�s, avanzar tambi�n como un tranv�a (de deseo). Al leer estos relatos uno no sabe si ha sido invitado a su cabeza o a su alma. En cualquier caso, es un regalo. Y una dulce intromisi�n�.--Ray Loriga
«Este libro es lo m�s parecido a una autobiograf�a fragmentada. [...] El lector acabar� obteniendo la m�xima informaci�n de m� como cineasta, como fabulador y el modo en que mi vida hace que una cosa y las otras se mezclen�. As� define el autor este volumen, en una brillante introducci�n que sirve tambi�n de puesta en perspectiva: los doce relatos que lo componen abarcan varias �pocas, desde finales de la d�cada de los sesenta hasta la actualidad, y en ellos se reflejan algunas de sus obsesiones m�s �ntimas, adem�s de su evoluci�n como artista. Los oscuros a�os escolares, la influencia de la ficci�n en la vida, los efectos inesperados del azar, la sofisticaci�n del humor, los inconvenientes de la fama, la fascinaci�n por los libros o la experimentaci�n con los g�neros narrativos son algunos de los temas que pueblan este libro imprescindible, que contiene m�ltiples capas de lectura. En librer�as el 13 de abril de 2023 ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Pedro Almod�var's most personal book: a self-portrait articulated in twelve tales that reveal his secret passion for writing.
"A book of findings. That Almod�var was a writer, that I already knew. We just needed to find out since when. From an early age up until the day before yesterday, his narrative takes us by the hand through an astonishing forest. To be born backwards (at the end) and to live backwards is just one of his talents. There are more--moving forward like a streetcar (of desire) too. By reading these tales, one does not know if it is an invitation to his head or his soul. Either way, it is a gift. And a sweet intrusion." --Ray Loriga "This book is the closest thing to a fragmented autobiography... The reader will obtain great insight about me as a filmmaker, as a storyteller, and in the way my life makes one thing, and all others mix." This is how the author defines this volume in a brilliant introduction that also sets a perspective: the twelve tales that comprise it encompass several eras, from the late sixties to date, all of them reflecting some of his most intimate obsessions, as well as his evolution as an artist. His dark school years, the influence of fiction in his life, the unexpected effects of chance, the sophistication of humor, the downside of fame, his fascination with books, and his experimentation with different narrative genres are some of the themes that inhabit this indispensable book, with a multilayered interpretation.
