Long acclaimed by Latin American critics, the Argentine novelist Manuel Puig became best known in this country for his novel Kiss of the Spider Woman . While Puig's seven novels are available in translation, an immense body of criticism and many of his most important interviews remain inaccessible to the non-Spanish reader.
