«La tía Julia y el escribidor» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in hardback (510 pages, in Spanish).
It interweaves Varguitas's romance with his aunt Julia, older than him, and the stories of hack writer Pedro Camacho on the radio where both work. Set in 1950s Lima, the relationship clashes with social opposition while the scribe's narratives become absurd. A blend of autobiography, humor, and melodrama.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Vargas Llosa collection from Alfaguara. Originally published in 1977. The work was recognized with the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in 1980.
For readers of Latin American fiction and followers of Nobel Prize in Literature winner Mario Vargas Llosa.
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".
