Finally back in print, Manuel Puig's celebrated first novel is a startling anatomy of a small town in thrall to its own petty lusts, betrayals, scandals, thefts and gossip - but, most of all, to the movies. Centering around a boy named Toto, Betrayed by Rita Hayworth is a symphony of disappointed, comic, bitter and bawdy voices, all hemmed in by life's refusal to behave like the silver screen. Probably the funniest and most honest coming-of-age story of its time.
