Jaime Manrique weaves into his own memoir the lives of three important twentieth-century Hispanic writers: the Argentine Manuel Puig, author of Kiss of the Spider Woman; the Cuban Reinaldo Arenas, author of Before Night Falls; and Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garc a Lorca. Manrique celebrates the lives of these heroic writers who were made outcasts for both their homosexuality and their politics.
