«Boquitas pintadas» is the novel by Manuel Puig published by Bibliotex in hardback (189 pages, in Spanish).
In a town in the province of Buenos Aires in the 1930s, Juan Carlos Etchepare, a ladies' man ill with tuberculosis, is involved with Mabel, Nené and Elsa. Through letters, clippings and monologues, Puig composes a sentimental chronicle of passions, pettiness and social repressions, parodying the serial and the radio play.
The novel was originally published in 1969. This edition was published in 2001 and belongs to the Biblioteca El Mundo collection, no. 93, with a prologue by Guillermo Cabrera Infante.
Aimed at readers of Latin American fiction and Argentine classics, with an interest in the blend of popular genres and social criticism.
Juan Manuel Puig Delledonne, commonly called Manuel Puig, was an Argentine author and LGBTQ activist. Among his best-known novels are La traición de Rita Hayworth, Boquitas pintadas, and El beso de la mujer araña which was adapted into the film released in 1985, directed by the Argentine-Brazilian director Héctor Babenco; and a Broadway musical in 1993.
