«Maldición eterna a quien lea estas páginas» is the novel by Manuel Puig, published by Seix Barral in paperback (278 pages, in Spanish).
The novel narrates the encounter in New York of two lonely people: an Argentine invalid and his American caregiver, both marked by the absence of a woman. The difficulty in establishing bonds of trust and affection guides their relationship. Through dialogues and silences, Puig shows how each character reveals himself to himself and to the other.
The work was originally published in 1980 within the Nueva Narrativa Hispánica collection.
For readers of Latin American narrative and contemporary fiction who appreciate dialogue and psychological exploration of characters.
