Dive into the complete memoirs of Terenci Moix, an author born in Barcelona in 1942 who liked to say he was born in Alexandria. In 'El Peso de la Paja' (The Weight of the Straw), Moix reveals himself as an extraordinary chronicler of a gray Barcelona, marked by the post-war period, where neighborhood cinemas were an escape for imagination and freedom. This book is a passionate and tragicomic account of the adventures of a young man who opened himself to the world in the sixties, residing in cities such as London, Paris, Rome and Egypt. The first part, 'El cine de los sábados' (Saturday Cinema), was acclaimed as a work of art, and the following volumes, 'El beso de Peter Pan' (Peter Pan's Kiss) and 'Extraño en el paraíso' (Stranger in Paradise), also received critical acclaim.
Terenci Moix was a Spanish writer, who wrote in the Spanish and in Catalan languages. He was the brother of poet/novelist Ana Maria Moix.
