Do you want a rich chemistry between two characters in prison with fun storytelling and dark existentialism? And it’s lgbtq+ as well! Oh what a dramatic and fabulous book.

This book is honestly amazing. The way it’s written is so unique and beautiful on itself, and the story itself is so tragic yet incredible. The Broadway musical is one of my favorite things ever, and the book is above it, so I guess it talks about how much I loved this.
Puig is the main character, the biggest Chad in existence of literature, and I’m a simp for him and his works of literature from now on I guess.

unglaublich spannend geschrieben, vor allem durch die ausschließe dialogform. man merkt dem buch sein alter durch gewisse (fragliche) wortwahlen an, aber dennoch fand ich die beziehungen zwischen den beiden charakteren so spannend und berührend

Me gustó mucho el libro, me pareció muy bueno y la forma de ser contada hace que la historia sea interesante y muy ágil de leer.
Personajes muy bien marcados y que no hace falta descripciones para conocerlos, algo que se logra muy bien. Siento que Puig trata la sexualidad de sus personajes de una forma muy correcta. Es muy moderna para el año en que fue escrita, aunque las notas de pie acerca de Freud y su reflexión sobre la homosexualidad a día de hoy me parecen innecesarias.
La parte en que se explica el título es preciosa.
Algunas narraciones de películas se md hacían muy largas y un poco le restaba puntos.
Aún así, disfruté del libro y las últimas páginas son hermosas.
