«Los cuadernos de Don Rigoberto» is the erotic novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Penguin Books in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Don Rigoberto, an insurance executive, fills notebooks with memories, fantasies and letters he never sends to combat nostalgia and banality. Separated from his wife Lucrecia, his imagination blurs the line between the real and the dreamed, in a story set in Lima about desire, sexuality and the power of fantasy.
This novel by Mario Vargas Llosa revisits the characters of «Elogio de la madrastra»: Don Rigoberto, Lucrecia and Alfonso. It was originally published in 1997; this Penguin Books edition is from 1998.
For readers of Latin American literature and contemporary fiction who appreciate eroticism with literary treatment.
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".
