Manuel Puig created a unique body of work out of Hollywood films, conversations with neighbors and a judicious combination of realism and melodrama. After the appearance of his early novels he had a string of successes, which opened up the worlds of cinema and theatre and brought him international prestige.
“It is his mastery of plot and counter-plot and the intrigues
-those of his characters and his own- that elevate Puig
to the level of his peers (Borges and García Marquez).”
Washington Post
“The brilliantly inventive Argentinian novelist.”
The New York Times
“The more serious I get in real life, the weirder the things I write. That’s why one of my favorite writers is Manuel Puig, who has such a free imagination. I find a very strong point in common between his literature and mine.”
Haruki Murakami
