Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
There are two writers in this contemporary novel with a unique style and unusual structure: one is the 18-year-old college student who is in love with his aunt and dreams of settling in Paris. The other is the talented storyteller, the artist who draws social customs, and the impoverished radio playwright Camacho. The future writer Llosa uses family gossip and anecdotes to write novel after novel, but fails again and again. The manuscripts are thrown into the trash, shelved, or laughed at. At the same time, the radio playwright Camacho quickly creates, rehearses, and produces a series of absurd, popular, and successful legendary radio dramas. The nine acts of humble and sad human tragedy and comedy run through the main line of the love story between Aunt Julia and the future writer, reflecting the gorgeous and ridiculous life of the genius writer. As the ruthless radio company owner praised: He turned all the stories into one story. And this story may also be the story of everyone.
