Valentin believes in the just cause that makes all suffering bearable; Molina believes in the magic of love that makes all else endurable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough they share little other than a cell, the two form a bond so intimate―and a relationship so profoundly affecting―that only the other could understand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA graceful, intensely compelling novel about love and victimization and a classic of queer literature, \u003ci\u003eKiss of the Spider Woman\u003c\/i\u003e has been adapted into an Academy Award-winning 1985 film and a Tony Award-winning 1993 musical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Manuel Puig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45588830978236,"sku":"9780679724490","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/8559\/2764\/files\/BNCImageAPI_6323631c-0bce-4a62-929f-3b823d7a6e01.jpg?v=1766162789","url":"https:\/\/wordsquirrelbooks.com\/products\/9780679724490","provider":"Word Squirrel Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
