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.
