Lil insight into the radio world of Peru, a backstage pass to observe the production of the tales behind the popular radio serials enjoyed by Lima housewives. Lil bit of scandal, lil bit of crime, danger, outrage, secrecy.

Si no recuerdo mal, creo que es la primera obra de Vargas Llosa que leo. Muy interesante. Al principio me descolocó un poco que metiera relatos cortos entre la historia principal, pero los enlaza de manera sublime.
Hay muchas cosas que se me han quedado grabadas de estea novela y en las que sigo pensando unos días después de haber terminado de leerlas. Me gustaría mucho saber qué parte es realmente autobiográfica y también el tema de que los 50 sean la mejor edad de una persona, ahora que me voy acercando a ellos.
He "descubierto" un autor con el que tenía algunos prejuicios y ciertamente lo leeré más en el futuro.

Not a fan of how this wraps up, but still, it's my first great read of 2024. What a romp!
