Antoni Casas Ros's Autobiographical Novel Published by Gallimard
Antoni Casas Ros, 35, has published 'Le théorème d'Almodovar' with Éditions Gallimard. The autobiographical novel recounts a car accident at age twenty that disfigured him and killed his friend, caused by a deer on the road. Isolated for fifteen years, Casas Ros seeks meaning through reflections on body, time, and solitude, sustained by a line from Roberto Juarroz: 'Au centre du vide, il y a une autre fête.' After meeting filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, he writes a script based on his experience and retitles the book for the film. The narrative explores his relationship with Lisa, a transsexual, and draws on Newton's quotes on gravitation and motion. Casas Ros aims to transform horror into beauty through sustained observation, creating a parallel universe. The book is described as a revelation by reviewer Patrick Amine.
