Manuel Puig
Biography
Manuel Puig was born in 1933. He started out as a film-maker, after having received a scholarship to attend a film-making course in Rome, and only turned to writing when he did not have any success. He left Argentina in 1973 to live in Mexico, after having repeatedly been threatened. He subsequently moved to Rio de Janeiro but later moved back to Mexico where he died in 1990. His novels very much show his love for the cinema as well as his concern for the political situation in Argentina. His most successful novel, El beso de la mujer araña (Kiss of the Spider Woman), has also been a successful play, film and musical.
