Pr�logo de Carolina de Robertis La obra m�s 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 ara�a es una elegante y fascinante novela sobre el amor y la victimizaci�n. En una c�rcel argentina, dos hombres comparten una celda: Molina, un dise�ador de escaparates homosexual que es ego�sta, auto-denigrante y al mismo tiempo encantador; y Valent�n, un revolucionario articulado y ferozmente dogm�tico obsesionado con la memoria de la mujer que abandon� por la causa. Ambos son gradualmente transformados por su cautelosa pero creciente obsesi�n de Molina con la fantas�a 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.
