Set in Lima. Semi-autobiographical story of an 18 year old journalists relationship with his 30 year old aunt and their involvement with an eccentric Bolivian scriptwriter of Peruvian radio soap operas. (exactly what it says in the title!) You get involved not just in their story but various soap plots as well. Cleverly written and amusing.
Much more entertaining than the other two books of his I read: The Real Life of Alejandro Mayta (bit dull and political); The Green House ( couldn't understand who was who, where they were what they were doing or why- some things lost in translation I fear!)
