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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough they 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA graceful, intensely compelling novel about love and victimization and a classic of queer literature, \u003ci\u003eKiss of the Spider Woman\u003c\/i\u003e has been adapted into an Academy Award-winning 1985 film and a Tony Award-winning 1993 musical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManuel Puig\u003c\/b\u003e is the acclaimed author of many novels, including\u003ci\u003e Betrayed by Rita Hayworth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKiss of the Spider Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Buenos Aires Affair\u003c\/i\u003e.
