patty diphusa

since i was a little child i always have been passionated with almodovar's films and as yet i hadn't know his facet as a writer which says that he always had a vocation. but like his movies this book has me totally crazy and i haven't finished yet of reading it!! and i have to say that during the day i hope some free time to read one of those chapters so surreal that make him stand out with that protagonist who seems drawn from The Factory of Andy Warhol, as well he says.
well, i leave u here a fragment of the prologue, and i hope you serve as a stimulus to read that book, which as i say, it's great!!:

''Siempre bajo mi punto de vista, los primeros ochenta fueron años intrépidos en los que el tiempo daba mucho de sí. No solo éramos más jóvenes y más delgados, sino que el desconocimiento hacía que nos lanzáramos a todo con alegría. No conocíamos el precio de las cosas, ni pensábamos en el mercado. No teníamos memoria e imitábamos todo lo que nos gustaba y disfrutábamos haciéndolo.
No existía el menor sentimiento de solidaridad, ni político, ni social, (...) Las drogas sólo mostraban su parte lúdica y el sexo era algo higiénico.''

Pedro Almodóvar
