The Last Dream: The perfect gift for any Almodóvar fan

A mischievous and genre-spanning story collection from legendary film director Pedro Almodóvar 'Almodóvar's mind seems to be reporting from another world to illuminate, clarify, and challenge our own' KAVEH AKBAR 'Akin to a Spanish Angela Carter' TELEGRAPH The Last Dream brings together twelve unpublished stories from Almodóvar's personal archive, written between the late sixties and the present day. Delivering a tantalising glimpse into Almodóvar's world, this wildly inventive collection reflects his most intimate obsessions, as well as his daring evolution as an artist. Ranging from 'The Las t Dream' - a beautiful chronicle of the death of Almodóvar's mother - to a love story between Jesus and Barabbas;, a cult film director out in search of painkillers on a bank holiday weekend, the original story behind the film Bad Education, and a gothic tale of a repentant vampire, these stories delight and surprise. The Last Dream is a celebration of the relationship between life and art, fiction and reality from an artist unafraid to write about our most intimate moments. Translated by Frank Wynne *Readers love THE LAST DREAM * 'Dive into a world where vibrant characters and deep emotions come to life on the page' 'An intriguing blend of the personal, thoughts, his remarkable professional film career and more from the superb Pedro Almodóvar' 'Colourful characters and situations, a little madness.
