by Manuel Puig (Author), Manuel Puig (Author), S. J. Levine (Translator)
Manuel Puig's debut novel disects the quiet despair of small-town life where nothing ever happens, the future is often the same as the present, the past all but forgotten. The women talk about the movies they've seen, they actresses they'd like to be, the actors they'd like to love...and one young man plans how he'd handle Rita Hayworth, so she'd never betray him the way she's betrayed everyone else!
