Pedro Almodóvar's most personal book: a self-portrait articulated in twelve stories that reveal his secret passion for writing. "This book is the closest thing to a fragmented autobiography. [...] The reader will end up obtaining maximum information about me as a filmmaker, as a storyteller, and the way in which my life makes one thing and the other blend together." This is how the author defines this volume, in a brilliant introduction that also serves as a perspective: the twelve stories that comprise it cover various eras, from the late sixties to the present day, and they reflect some of his most intimate obsessions, as well as his evolution as an artist. His dark school years, the influence of fiction on life, the unexpected effects of chance, the sophistication of humor, the drawbacks of fame, his fascination with books, and his experimentation with narrative genres are some of the themes that populate this essential book, which contains multiple layers of interpretation.
