Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter is a novel by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, published in 1977. The story tells the life of Marito, a young aspiring writer who works in a radio station and falls in love with his aunt Julia, a woman older than him.

The novel intertwines both stories, exploring themes such as love, youth, literary ambition, and popular culture.
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".
