Kiss of the spider woman /
Puig, Manuel.
Kiss of the spider woman / Manuel Puig. - London : Vintage, 2006. - 288 p. ; 20 cm.
Originally published: New York: Knopf, 1979; London: Arena, 1984.
Sometimes they talk all night long. In the still darkness of their Buenos Aires prison cell, Molina re-weaves the glittering and fragile stories of the film he loves, and the cynical Valentin listens. Valentin believes in the just cause that makes all suffering bearable; Molina believes in the magic of love that makes all else endurable. Though they seemingly share little other than a cell, the two form a bond so intimate - and a relationship so profoundly affecting - that only the other could understand.
Translated from the Spanish.
