About This Item
New York : William Morrow, 2005., 2005. Fine. 1st edition, [1st printing] ; xvi, 448 pp. ; illustrated ; 26 cm. ; ISBN: 0374281904 ; LC: PQ7798.S6.U4Z772 ; Dewey: 863 ; dark grey and black cloth with silver lettering, in photographic dustjacket ; "Manuel Puig (1932-1990), Argentinian author of Kiss of the Spider Woman and pioneer of high camp, stands alone in the pantheon of contemporary Latin American literature...Puig's way of life was as unconventional as his fiction : he spoke of himself in the female form in Spanish, renamed his friends after his favorite movie stars, referred to his young male devotees as 'daughters' and as a perennial expatriate, lived (often with his mother) everywhere from Rome to Rio de Janeiro. Suzanne Jill Levine, his principal English translator, draws upon years of friendship as well as copious research and interviews in her remarkable book, the first biography of this inimitable writer."--dustjacket ; remainder mark at bottom, else FINE/FINE
