hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1991. November 1991. Simon & Schuster. 1st American Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0671679961. Translated from the Spanish by Suzanne Jill Levine. 189 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Louise Fili. Jacket illustration b…y John Martinez. Author photograph by Jerry Bauer. keywords: Latin America Argentina Literature. DESCRIPTION - TROPICAL NIGHT FAILING, Manuel Puig's last work, written just before his premature death in 1990, involves characters at the margins of society - in this case, the world of the elderly. Confined by age, and in a country not their own, Puig's characters spin a mesmerizing tale. At the heart of the story are two aged Argentine sisters, Luci and Nidia, living in self-imposed exile in Brazil. At eighty, Luci has outlived her husband, having tended him throughout a debilitating illness. Nidia has tragically lost her daughter to cancer. Together they share a life of gentle gossip against the tropical background of Rio. But through their sisterly conversations, Puig reveals the chaos and violence of the world around them. There is their neighbor, Silvia, a middle-aged psychologist forced to leave Buenos Aires during a Peronist purge; having survived a number of skewed love affairs, she becomes entangled in a bizarre sexual relationship with a grieving widower. There is Rinaldo, the smiling, handsome night watchman who wins Nidia's friendly attentions; in time she learns he is preying on her thirteen-year-old maid. Then there are the seemingly harmless construction workers across the street; by night they engage in debauched orgies with captive women. These stories become the avenues through which Luci and Nidia vicariously encounter the vicissitudes of life, isolated as they are from the mainstream. The dialogue moves from the banal to the personal and then to the most profound questions of dependency and cruelty. inventory #15510.
