The Patty Diphusa Stories : And Other Writings

Meer over het boek

This is a compilation of stories and essays. Pedro Almodovar has established himself with films like Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and High Heels, this book features his comic creation Patty Diphusa, the high-class porn queen, who tells stories to make you hair curl. Her memoirs show an inexhaustible capacity for excess, plus a taste for reflection on the human condition. The book includes accompanying essays on film which form a kind of autobiography - particularly How to Become an Internationally Renowned Film Maker - which reflects on Almodovar's career from the early days of Super 8.
