Review of : Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig


To be honest, I'm not sure I could explain why I liked this novel. Uniquely structured, told almost entirely in dialogue, a dash of footnotes hither and thither, a few transcripts, film summaries. Inventiveness coupled with great storytelling goes far with me. Of course, the novel would nothing without the film summaries...and what are we supposed to do with these film summaries? As a reader, I mean? Not sure yet. Let me think on it.

Also, unfortunate cover. Just really unfortunate.
