Synopsis
Pubis Angelical is a stunning new work of fiction by the author of Kiss of the Spider Woman. With his characteristic panache and originality, Puig, writing at the height of his powers, gives us a tour de force of paranoia and sexual obsession. As the novel progresses he takes us deeper and deeper into the conscious and unconscious lives of a woman.
Cunningly crafted, Pubis Angelical combines elements of the espionage and suspense thriller and science fiction, as it tells, by turns, two intricately related tales. It tells of a Viennese actress in the late 1930s, 'the most beautiful woman in the world', married to a German weapons' manufacturer, who possesses a secret sought by spies from Russia, Germany, America . . . and about Ana, a woman of the 1970s, convalescing in a hospital bed in Mexico City, a refugee from Argentina who is reflecting on her relationships with men.
Which story is the projection of whose unconscious fantasy?
