An intimate and mischievous story collection, bursting with desire and playful humour, from legendary film director Pedro Almodóvar 'A major literary talent’ KAVEH AKBAR, author of Martyr! 'Akin to a Spanish Angela Carter' TELEGRAPH The Last Dream brings together twelve stories from legendary film director Pedro Almodóvar’s personal archive. Delivering a tantalising glimpse into Almodóvar’s world, together they reflect his most intimate obsessions, as well as his daring evolution as an artist. Ranging from a beautiful chronicle of the death of Almodóvar’s mother in ‘The Last Dream’, 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 mischievous stories delight and surprise. ‘A heady mix of factual and fictitious, befitting of one of cinema’s most imaginative storytellers’ OBSERVER ‘Keenly observed and spiritually sumptuous’ EMPIRE 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. Warmth, humour and strangeness'
