Book Synopsis
Jaime Manrique weaves into his own memoir the lives of three important 20th-century Hispanic writers: the Argentine Manuel Puig, the author of "Kiss of the Spider Woman"; the Cuban Reinaldo Arenas, author of "Before Night Falls"; and Spanish poet and playwright Frederico Garcia Lorca.

Trade Review
"Literary analysis that reads like a passionate, tender, love story." - David Ross Gerling, World Literature Today "Manrique's double vision yields insights into Puig, Arenas, and Lorca unavailable to a writer less attuned to the complex interplay of culture and sexuality, as well as that of race and class in Latino and Anglo societies." - George DeStefano, The Nation
