Manuel Puig's 1976 Kiss of the Spider Woman, translated into
English in 1979 and adapted as an Academy Award-winning film,
expanded the idiom of the novel (mixing cinema, fiction, romance,
and song) and challenged the third-person narration that was
dominant in Latin American Boom fiction. Students are drawn to the
conversational style of the novel and the melodramatic seductions
of the tale, but they need guidance to appreciate the novel's
richness as a work of literature. This volume of the MLA's
Approaches to Teaching series suggests ways instructors can help
students grasp the novel's exploration of state and sexual politics
and discern the strategies of narration that underlie the
conversations between the two main characters. In part 1,
"Materials," the editors discuss versions and translations of the
novel, provide readings and resources, give an overview of the
historical and political background of 1970s Argentina, and outline
the author's biography. The thirteen essays in part 2,
"Approaches," written by distinguished scholars of Latin American
literature, offer close textual analysis, examine the author's use
of cinematic references, and present suggestions for teaching
Hector Babenco's film adaptation alongside the written text.
