La obra más conocida de Manuel Puig, “el brillantemente inventivo novelista argentino” (The New York Times), es ahora el tema de una premiada comedia musical.
 
El beso de la mujer araña es una elegante y fascinante novela sobre el amor y la victimización. En una cárcel argentina, dos hombres comparten una celda: Molina, un diseñador de escaparates homosexual que es egoísta, auto-denigrante y al mismo tiempo encantador; y Valentín, un revolucionario articulado y ferozmente dogmático obsesionado con la memoria de la mujer que abandonó por la causa. Ambos son gradualmente transformados por su cautelosa pero creciente obsesión de Molina con la fantasía y el romance del cine.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Kiss of the Spider Woman is a graceful, intensely compelling novel about love and victimization.

In an Argentine prison, two men share a cell: Molina, a gay window dresser who is self-centered, self-denigrating, yet charming as well; and Valentin, an articulate, fiercely dogmatic revolutionary haunted by memories of a woman he left for the cause. Both are gradually transformed by their guarded but growing friendship and by Molina’s obsession with the fantasy and romance of the movies.

While inside the prison, the growing friendship between a thirty-sevenyear-old homosexual and the young Marxist is threatened when police officials start pressuring Molina to spy against Valentin.
