5.0 out of 5 stars The Active Reader, June 18, 2011

Noel F. Purdon - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Betrayed by Rita Hayworth (Hardcover)

If you arrived at 'Betrayed..' via Hector Babenco's film of 'Kiss of the Spider Woman',it's better to go back and read the later novel before you tackle this one. Puig is an infinitely more cinematic artist than Babenco's conventional adaptation,distortion and miscasting would suggest. It's more helpful to summon Godard,Fassbinder and Pasolini as directors and do the film grammar yourself. Otherwise you'll find the first twenty pages infuriating. The dialogue is unassigned and repetitive. There are few spatial or temporal clues about the location. The opulent fantasy and dramatic highs of a Marquez are conspicuously absent. Persist and you'll discover with what ingenuity the banal chatter is gradually introducing themes,characters,events,more in the manner of a musical canon or a mathematical equation than a novelistic narrative. That's your cue. If you want more,read.
