Me ha dejado tan impresionada esta novela que luego fui a averiguar quien era Manuel Puig, así me enteré que siempre quiso ser guionista para la televisión y que su literatura se considera postboom (refiriéndose al boom literario latinoamericno).
Se aprecia su deseo de ser guionista porque la novela es practicamente en diálogo, incluso sin identificar al personaje.
El plot y los subplots se enlazan armonicamente.
Las notas al pie es un elemento que distrae algo, según mi punto de vista.

This book is entertaining enough for me to recommend reading it. Don't expect outstanding writing, but do take the time to read it (it doesn't take long). Molina is an endearing character, the movie subplots are interesting, and there are just enough changes in the story to keep you wondering. The footnotes do get annoying, but remember this was written in the 70s when they were necessary...plus, you really don't need to read them at all.

I used to be a little prejudiced, but after reading this book I decided to stop being judgamental. Everybody has a good reason for being a certain way.
On the other hand, this book is magistrally written. It is easy to read and it is also very different, written in the format of a theatre play.Highly recommend it.

Great book, better movie!! I really enjoyed it, as I did with Boquitas Pintadas...

As Boquitas Pintadas, El Beso de la Mujer Araña is another great book from Puig. Gotta read it before seing the movie (which is also great).

This book is good. It's interesting to see how Manuel Puig integrates elements from films into this book. The movie is really really really bad. Do not watch it. The book is an ok read

Honestly I do not know how to rate this seller. I never got the book because he/she was out of town but he/she did issue a refund, although I would have rather had him/ her send it to me anyway.
