Synopsis
Llosa, Mario Vargas. Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter. London, Faber and Faber, 1983. 15 cm x 23 cm. 374 pages. Hardcover with illustrated dustjacket in protective Mylar. Excellent condition with only very minor signs of external wear. 'A comic novel on the grand scale written with tremendous confidence and verve. Mario, 18-year-old law student and radio news-editor, falls scandalously for his Aunt Julia, the 32-year-old divorced wife of a cousin, and the progressively lunatic story of this affair is interwoven with episodes from a series of radio soap-operas written by his friend Pedro Comacho. Vargas Llosa's huge energy and inventiveness is extravagant and fabulously funny.' New Statesman
