Puig’s work explores themes of homosexuality and gender while offering a commentary against authoritarianism. The reader really has to work through the dialogues that take place between Molina and Valentín to understand the repressive regime in 1970s Argentina, which eerily draws parallels to the current political climate in the United States.
