«La señorita de Tacna» is the two-act play by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Seix Barral in 1981, in paperback (146 pages, in Spanish).
The play centres on Belisario, a writer who in 1980 tries to reconstruct the story of Mamaé, an elderly woman in his family who recalls her youth in Peru decades earlier. Through Mamaé's memories and the writer's imagination, the piece interweaves her youthful love, the family's decline and the very process of literary creation, blending past and present in a single stage space.
The play was first published in 1981 in the Biblioteca Breve collection by Seix Barral, in Barcelona. The paperback edition has 146 pages and is written in Spanish.
Recommended for theatre readers and followers of Mario Vargas Llosa's narrative, especially those who enjoy works exploring memory, family history and the writer's craft.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
