This comic novel, which merges reality with fantasy, is about the world of radio soap operas and the pitfalls of forbidden passion. A sophisticated, divorced Aunt Julia is looking for a new mate who can support her in a lavish lifestyle. Instead, she falls into an affair with her nephew, which shocks her family and the community. Blurb in Spanish: La relación amorosa del joven escritor Varguitas con una mujer de su familia mayor que él, la tía Julia, y la desaforada presencia del folletinista Pedro Camacho en la misma emisora de radio donde Varguitas trabaja, son las dos historias en que se vertebra el argumento de "La tía Julia y el escribidor". La noble pasión amorosa entre la tía Julia y el aprendiz de novelista, que la sociedad limeña de los años cincuenta trata por todos los medios de impedir, se combina con las narraciones truculentas del folletinista de las ondas. Esta narración mayor de Mario Vargas Llosa reúne el interés de los relatos de aventuras, donde coinciden de forma brillante la encendida pasión shakesperiana con su correlato melodramático, la inesperada confluencia del devoto de la alta literatura con el escribidor rastrero.
