Description
A convalescing Argentine woman in a Mexican hospital becomes the unlikely center of a shifting web of intrigue, where espionage and sexual entrapment blur into something stranger and more speculative. Told through a braided structure of perspectives—hospital scenes, diary entries, and phone conversations—her story unfolds alongside the lives and voices of two other women, each revealing a different angle on the same unsettling events. As secrets surface and desire is weaponized, the novel explores power, surveillance, and the ways intimacy can be manipulated. In a style that echoes the cinematic, polyphonic energy of his acclaimed work, Manuel Puig delivers a suspenseful, genre-bending tour de force that keeps the reader guessing without ever losing emotional clarity.
