Editorial Seix Barral, Barcelona, en 1976. -- title page verso.
Manuel Puig's best-known work, "the brilliantly inventive Argentine novelist" (The New York Times), is now the subject of an award-winning musical comedy. Kiss of the Spider Woman is an elegant and fascinating novel about love and victimization. In an Argentine jail, two men share a cell: Molina, a homosexual shop window designer who is selfish, self-denigrating, and at the same time charming; and Valentin, an articulate and fiercely dogmatic revolutionary obsessed with the memory of the woman he abandoned for the cause. Both are gradually transformed by Molina's cautious but growing obsession with film fantasy and romance.
