Kiss Of The Spider Woman Av Manuel Puig

<p><b>Valentin and Molina seemingly share little other than a cell in this queer classic ahead of its time.<br></b><br><b>''Dazzling... a triumph'' <i>Observer</i></b><br><br>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. <br><br>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.<br><br><b>''A visionary work that breathed life into certain dimensions of human possibility long before society at large was prepared to imagine them.'' Carolina de Robertis, <i>Los Angeles Review of Books</i></b></p>
