The conversations between the characters, when not focused on the moment at hand, are recountings of films that Molina has seen, which act as a form of escape from their environment. What is not written as dialogue or stream-of-consciousness is written as meta-fictional government documentation. There are also significant portions of stream-of-consciousness writing. It is written in large part as dialogue, without any indication of who is speaking, except for a dash (-) to show a change of speaker. The novel's form is unusual in that there is no traditional narrative voice. It is generally considered Puig's most successful work. It depicts the daily conversations between two cellmates in an Argentine prison, Molina and Valentín, and the intimate bond they form in the process. Kiss of the Spider Woman ( Spanish: El beso de la mujer araña) is a 1976 novel by Argentine writer Manuel Puig.
