A Detective Novel
by Manuel Puig · 1973 · 219 pages

Wong Kar Wai
The novel follows the destructive intersection of two lives: Gladys, a sculptor tormented by sexual repression, and Leo, an art critic haunted by violent guilt. Set against the backdrop of political instability in mid-century Argentina, the narrative subverts the detective genre using experimental techniques like transcripts, notes, and cinematic references.
