		In contrast, the scriptwriter is so overwhelmed maintaining the pace of the scripts for ten different serials that he can't keep track of his own sense of reality, much less his fictional characters and elaborate plots.
		The (autobiographical?) protagonist, Mario, falls in love with his "aunt" Julia (not a blood relation), the kind of relationship that is the stuff of radio soap operas - meanwhile, Mario's coworker and confidant is the enigmatic and pseudobohemian/pseudointellectual Pedro Camacho, the most popular radio scriptwriter in Peru.
		Julia and the under-age Mario fall in love, their affair is discovered, and they begin a frantic search for a corrupt and/or ignorant magistrate who will marry them before the arrival of his revolver-toting father hell-bent on separating the two and sending Julia packing.

		Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter gives us not one, but two writers through which to explore the art form.
		Every time the story of Varguitas and his aunt progresses to a new level, we, the readers, are whisked away into the fantasy world of Camacho's eccentric imagination.
		I kept hoping that elements from the lives of Camacho, Varguitas, and Aunt Julia would bleed into the radio serial plots, and that allusions made in the soap operas would also affect the main characters.

	Peruvian Soap Opera
		The narrator precociously courts and marries his delectable Aunt Julia, as did Vargas Llosa, whose first wife was an aunt (but not a blood relative) named Julia.This book is dedicated to her.
		He has lately become a television talk-show host in Lima as well, and ''Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter,'' originally published in Barcelona in 1977, has been made into what his publishers say is a ''top-rated television series in Colombia.'' This is a tidy little recycling that belongs with his novel's nest of ironies.
		His tale of Aunt Julia is low-key, timid soap, but then suddenly violence impends: Mario's father hears of the unholy romance and comes to Lima with murder on his mind.

	Latins and Literary Lovers -- Monday, Aug. 09, 1982 -- Page 2 -- TIME
		A romance between Mario, 18, and Julia, 32, is a mock cliffhanger; the rise and fall of Pedro Camacho, a compulsive writer of soap-opera scripts, is a comic tale with tragic relief.
		But by constantly referring to her as Aunt Julia, Mario keeps the tingle of a semi-scandalous relationship in his narrative.
		Aunt Julia is an ingenious and delightful turnabout, a glass-bottom social comedy that offers some deep, dark perspectives to those who care to look down.

	Amazon.ca: Aunt Julia And The Scriptwriter: Books: Mario Llosa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter is without a doubt Mario Vargas-Llosa's most entertaining book, intelligent without being difficult and hilarious without being patronizing.
		Though certain parts (especially the story of Julia) are well documented, the exact extent to which some of the rest of the book is based on real life is still being debated.
		Nonetheless, if you are intrigued enough by the story in Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter to read more and you understand Spanish, the most important and entertaining of the complaints is by Aunt Julia (Julia Urquidi) herself, called Lo Que Varguitas No Dijo (What Little Vargas Didn't Say).

		Aunt Julia is the recently divorced ex-wife of one of Mario's myriad uncles, and she too hails from Bolivia.
		Out of courtesy to Aunt Julia, but mostly as a result of her playful urging, Mario escorts her to the movies one night -- a seminal outing.
		Llosa expertly handles the relationship of Pedro and Aunt Julia, as he should considering that the novel is autobiographical.

		The scriptwriter portion of the story, however, was just a little too complicated for me to understand.
		Vargas Llosa is not always a funny writer, but in Aunt Julia the excesses of the incredible Chamaco (the scriptwriter in the title) will have you laugh out aloud (not just smile as most books do) wishing you had some Argentinian friends to abuse them for fun in inimitable Chamaco style.
		You have to be in the right mood to appreciate the gothic soap opera chapters in between the 'real' story of Aunt Julia and the narrator's love affair.

	AUNT JULIA AND A VISIT WITH A BOLIVIAN SCRIPTWRITER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Aunt Julia is actually a slightly fictionalized account of Vargas' life in 1950's Lima as a university student and part-time news director for Radio Panamericana (on shortwave some years ago).
		From here, the novel builds up to an uproarious climax as Vargas, who has fallen head-over-heels for his aunt, persuades her to marry him and then rushes around the Peruvian hinterland trying to find a priest dumb enough to do the deed despite his being underage and without parental permission.
		As to Aunt Julia, the family scandal caused by the affair and eight year marriage has been documented elsewhere.

		Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter is a comic novel by Mario Vargas Llosa (of Death in the Andes and The War of the End of the World fame) written (in Spanish) in 1977.
		It is a story in two entwined halves: one is the ascending autobiographical account of the aspiring writer, who falls in love with his divorced "Aunt-in-law" Julia, the other is the contrasting descent of Pedro Camacho, the famed author of radio soap operas for Mario's employer.

	P O S T R O A D \| Tom Perrotta
		The great Peruvian novelist, Mario Vargas Llosa, is rightly celebrated for epic political novels like The War of the End of the World, Conversation in the Cathedral, and his latest, The Feast of the Goat, an ambitious and unflinching account of life in the Dominican Republic during the Trujillo era.
		The odd book out in the roster of Vargas Llosa's masterworks has to be Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, a manic farce about forbidden love and the dangerous power of storytelling that is a triumph of literary switch-hitting, and, quite simply, one of the funniest books I've ever read.
		It's hard to do justice to the sheer energy and inventiveness of this novel in a brief summary—it's as if Vargas Llosa somehow figured out a way to channel the primal storytelling powers of Pedro Camacho while he was composing Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter.

		Having lived in Peru for a time I was interested in exploring some of his works, starting with one his most celebrated novels, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter.
		Mario falls in love with his uncle's estranged wife and their romance is told in alternate chapters to some of the radio station's serials.
		The blossoming and subsequent deterioration of their relationship is matched by the apparent mental state of the eccentric serial scriptwriter, whose plots become more entangled and confused with each other as the book progresses.

	SLOW TRAIN TO PATNA - NI 141 - Reviews
		The recent English translation of Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter (originally La tia Julia y el escribidor) should win it a place on Western bookshelves beside the novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
		It belongs to the same ‘magic-realism’ genre as 100 Years of Solitude, a way of writing so different to conventional Western literature that it should be read for an experience of the world’s cultural diversity - giving one’s cultural tastebuds a surprise, like eating quick-fried seaweed after a lifetime of soggy baked beans.
		Llosa is playing a gentle joke on his would-be sophisticated readers and the truth slowly dawns as the novel goes on.

		"Tune in Tomorrow" is based on Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, a novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, the recent Peruvian presidential candidate, whose original hero was obsessed by resentments against Bolivians.
		In the film, Keanu Reeves is Falk's student, a bright and willing young man who wants to learn the radio game, and Barbara Hershey is Reeves' aunt, who has moved to New Orleans to add a new chapter to her unhappy experiences with men.
		In no time at all, Reeves is in love with Hershey, and their dialogue, which has to be heard to be believed, is soon heard all over town, because Falk eavesdrops and steals their lines word-for-word.

		Meanwhile, Mario finds a friend in Pedro Camacho, a soap opera radio writer who, after achieving great success, has begun to lose control over his characters (they die in one episode to reappear the next) and runs of the risk of being fired since the audience is getting confused.
		The boiling imagination of Camacho's scripts and the riotous life of Varguitas is interweaved: Varguitas confronts his family claiming that he will provide a good life to Julia.
		She encourages him to pursue his dream of going to Paris and Camacho loses his mind and is sent to a mental hospital."
