Synopsis

Don Rigoberto llena cuadernos con anotaciones, comentarios, diatribas y fantasías para defenderse de la banalidad. También para soportar la nostalgia que siente por su mujer, Lucrecia, de quien lleva unos meses separado por algo que sucedió entre ella y el hijo de don Rigoberto. Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto es mucho más que una novela erótica. Es también una novela sobre la realidad y el deseo, sobre cómo la vida de la imaginación puede compensar los estrechos gestos de la vida real.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONDon Rigoberto fills pages with notes, comments, and fantasies to protect himself from ordinariness. He also uses them to escape the longing he feels for Lucrecia, his wife, from whom he’s separated as a result of something that transpired between her and his son. The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto is, in many ways, much more than mere erotic novel, it is a testament to reality and desire, a testimony of the myriad of ways imagination can compensate for the limitations imposed by real life. "The erotic is the dignification of sex through fantasy and culture," Vargas Llosa.
