Kiss of a Spider Woman (Mandarin Edition)

《蜘蛛女之吻》

In the still darkness of their cell, Molina re-weaves the glittering and fragile stories of the film he loves, and the cynical Valentin listens. Valentin believes in the just cause which makes all suffering bearable; Molina believes in the magic of love which makes all else endurable. Each has always been alone, and always - especially now - in danger of betrayal. But in cell 7 each surrenders to the other something of himself that he has never surrendered before.

在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯监狱的一间牢房里关押着两个囚犯，一个是政治犯瓦伦丁，另一个是同性恋者莫利纳，特务机关派到瓦伦丁身边的卧底。两人之间展开了一场奇妙的对话，呈现出一幅幅电影与现实交错的画面。本书1976年发表后，被翻译成多种文字，小说的魅力迅速蔓延开去，转化到各种表现形式：歌舞剧多年来久演不衰，成为百老汇经典；改编的电影产生过巨大的影响。
