This was created from a University of Toronto MARC record, but the associated book was authored by Manuel Puig (1932-1990). I can't find any evidence of a Manuel Puig (1911-2000), so this record should probably just be deleted.

Heartbreak tango

0.0 (0)

Awash in small-town gossip, petty jealousy, and intrigues, Manuel Puig's Heartbreak Tango is a comedic assault on the fault lines between the disappointments of the everyday world, and the impossible promises of commercials, pop songs, and movies. This melancholy and hilarious tango concerns the many women in orbit around Juan Carlos Etchepare, an impossibly beautiful Lothario wasting away ever-so-slowly from consumption, while those who loved and were spurned by him move on into workaday lives and unhappy marriages.

#3

Traición de Rita Hayworth

1971

4.0 (1)

With the announcement of Juan Carlos Etchepare's death, an unusual tale of love unfolds.
