«El peso de la paja», subtitled «El cine de los sábados», is the first volume of Terenci Moix's memoirs, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback.
In these memoirs, Terenci Moix reconstructs his childhood marked by movies and the discovery of a restless, nonconformist sexuality. The narrative alternates reality and fantasy and paints a fresco of Spanish life in the 1950s and 1960s, with a lyrical and sarcastic prose that does not shy away from intimate confession.
Work published in 1990; the cover states the 6th edition and 75,000 copies sold. Spanish-language edition of 359 pages.
Recommended for readers aged 12 and over interested in memoirs and contemporary Spanish literature.
