«La tía Julia y el escribidor» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Círculo de Lectores, S.A. in hardback (384 pages, in Spanish).
It interweaves the romance of young Varguitas and Julia, his older aunt by marriage, with the radio serials that Pedro Camacho writes at the station where Varguitas works. Passion clashes with the conventions of 1950s Lima, while popular fiction seeps into real life: a satire on literature and melodrama.
Originally published in 1977; this edition by Círculo de Lectores was published in 1978. In 1980 it received the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger.
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".
