By day a grey-suited insurance executive, by night a pornographer,
Don Rigoberto fills up his notebooks with memories, fantasies and
unsent letters. Has his second wife, Lucrecia, really had an affair
with her young stepson, or is Don Rigoberto making it all up? Which
episodes are real, and which are figments of his lurid imagination?
Vargas Llosa keeps the reader guessing right to the end of this
witty, yet always compelling novel. (Kirkus UK)
Don Rigoberto - by day a grey insurance executive, by night a
pornographer and sexual enthusiast - misses Lucrecia, his estranged
second wife. The pair separated following a sexual encounter
between Lucrecia and Alfonso, Rigoberto's son. To compensate for
her absence, Rigoberto fills his notebooks with memories, fantasies
and unsent letters. Meanwhile, Alfonso visits Lucrecia, determined
to win her love. In The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto, Mario Vargas
Llosa keeps the reader guessing which episodes are real and which
issue from Rigoberto's imagination. The novel, a wonderful mix of
reality and fantasy, is sexy, funny, disquieting, and unfailingly
compelling. If you enjoyed The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto, you
might also like Mario Vargas Llosa's In Praise of the Stepmother.
