Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig

uutopicaa's review against another edition

5.0

La verdad es que pensé que no me iba a gustar.

Sé que es un libro que tiene errores. Que escapa en si estilo narrativo a lo que es usual. También sé que tiene algunas cosas sobre la comunidad LGBT que no están bien expresadas y que suenan horribles.

Pero es el reflejo de una época. De dos visiones en un espacio y tiempo determinado. Y, como tal, me resultó fascinante. Los personajes, con más defectos que virtudes, son extremadamente creíbles y humanos. Están construidos de forma excelente, igual que el modo en el que los vamos conociendo de a poco.

Do you want a rich chemistry between two characters in prison with fun storytelling and dark existentialism? And it’s lgbtq+ as well! Oh what a dramatic and fabulous book.
