Synopsis
Set in Peru during the 1950s, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter is the story of an 18 year old student who falls for a 32 year old divorcee. Mario, an aspiring writer, works at a radio station that broadcasts, live each day, up to a half-dozen short-run soap operas. At the same time that the author meets his "Aunt Julia", the radio station, which had been buying scripts by weight from Cuba, hires a Bolivian scriptwriter named Pedro Camacho to write the serials. The novel chronicles the scriptwriter's rise and fall in tandem with the protagonist's affair.

'A comic novel on the grand scale, written with tremendous confidence and verve . . . Llosa's huge energy and inventiveness is extravagant and fabulously funny.' --New Statesman
'This novel is as full of fizz as a giant pack of sherbet, witty, wise and wonderful in equal proportions.' -- Sunday Times
'A novel of immense vitality and imagination.' --Literary Review
'A comic novel that is genuinely funny . . . [and] never ceases to entertain.' --New York Times
