Kiss of the Spider Woman
Kiss of the Spider Woman | By Manuel Puig | Translated by Thomas Colchie
Valentin and Molina seemingly share little other than a cell in this queer classic ahead of its time. 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.
