The publishing of The Buenos Aires Affair (1973) meant a turning point in Manuel Puig’s literary career. Even though the reflection about gender and the authoritarianism of machism had already been explored in La traición de Rita Hayworth (1968) and Boquitas pintadas (1969), his third novel adjusted the terms to a larger debate that was taking place at the beginning of the 1970s, which is sexism and the need to incorporate sexuality into the longed revolution. In its pages, Puig narrates the days before the Cordobazo through the story of two protagonists: an artist and an art critic, repressed both sexually and politically. After the contact with the Frente de Liberación Homosexual (FLH), Puig incorporated the theoretical framework which allowed him to propose an exit to the sexual pressures that weighed over his characters and crystallized in El beso de la mujer araña (1976), his fourth novel, where he set out an utopian resolution to the conflict between Marxism and sexual revolution within the left wing sectors, which continued to consider homosexuality a bourgeois and decadent perversion and could not see its revolutionary potential. |

La publicación de The Buenos Aires Affair (1973) significó un quiebre en la carrera literaria de Manuel Puig. Si bien las reflexiones sobre género y el autoritarismo del machismo ya habían sido explorados en La traición de Rita Hayworth (1968) y Boquitas pintadas (1969), su tercera novela ajustó los términos al debate más grande que se estaba teniendo a comienzos de los años 70, que es el sexismo y la necesidad de incorporar la sexualidad a la tan anhelada revolución. En sus páginas Puig narra la antesala del Cordobazo a través de la historia de sus dos protagonistas: una artista plástica y un crítico de arte reprimidos sexual y políticamente. A partir del contacto con el Frente de Liberación Homosexual (FLH), Puig incorporó un marco teórico que le permitió plantear una salida a las presiones sexuales que pesaban sobre sus personajes y se terminó de cristalizar en El beso de la mujer araña (1976), su cuarta novela, donde planteó una resolución utópica al conflicto entre marxismo y liberación sexual dentro de los sectores de izquierda, que seguían considerando la homosexualidad como una perversión burguesa y decadente sin poder ver su potencial revolucionario. A publicação do The Buenos Aires Affair (1973) marcou uma ruptura na carreira literária de Manuel Puig. Enquanto as reflexões sobre gênero e o autoritarismo do machismo já haviam sido exploradas em La traición de Rita Hayworth (1968) e Boquitas pintadas (1969), seu terceiro romance ajustou os termos ao maior debate que estava ocorrendo no início dos anos 70, ou seja, o sexismo e a necessidade de incorporar a sexualidade à tão almejada revolução. Em suas páginas Puig narra o prelúdio ao Cordobazo através da história de seus dois protagonistas: um artista visual e um crítico de arte que foram sexual e politicamente reprimidos. A partir de seu contato com a Frente de Liberação Homossexual (FLH), Puig incorporou um marco teórico que lhe permitiu propor uma saída para as pressões sexuais que pesavam sobre seus personagens, que finalmente se cristalizou em El beso de la mujer araña (1976), seu quarto romance, onde propôs uma resolução utópica para o conflito entre o marxismo e a libertação sexual dentro dos setores esquerdistas, que continuavam a considerar a homossexualidade como uma perversão burguesa e decadente sem poder ver seu potencial revolucionário.
