(London)
Mario Vargas Llosa's masterful, multilayered novel is set in the Lima,
Peru, of the author's youth, where a young student named Marito is
toiling away in the news department of a local radio station. His young
life is disrupted by two arrivals.
The first is his aunt Julia, recently divorced and thirteen years older,
with whom he begins a secret affair. The second is a manic radio
scriptwriter named Pedro Camacho, whose racy, vituperative soap operas
are holding the city's listeners in thrall. Pedro chooses young Marito
to be his confidant as he slowly goes insane.
Interweaving the story of Marito's life with the ever-more-fevered tales
of Pedro Camacho, Vargas Llosa's novel is hilarious, mischievous, and
masterful, a classic named one of the best books of the year by the New
York Times Book Review.
