Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In Elogio de la Madrasta ("In Praise of the Stepmother"), Vargas Llosa took up the erotic novel, introducing the sensual stepmother Do?a Lucrecia and her husband, Don Rigoberto. This is the second part of Elogio. Each night, in order to keep his marriage to Lucrecia from becoming stale, Don Rigoberto conjures erotic fantasies. These musings, which he writes down in his notebooks, transport him in space and time, allowing him to explore subjects ranging from politics to the arts in an eloquent display of language. Vargas Llosa is at the top of his craft, deftly combining wit and style in a work that will delight and captivate readers.?Jorge Gonzalez

Book Description
Set in Lima, Peru this is the story of a bizarre love triangle whose participants may be the creations of Don Rigoberto's fertile imagination. The central characters are Rigoberto himself, a dull insurance executive by day, a pornogapher and sexual enthusiast by night; Lucrecia, his second wife; and Alfonso, his angel-faced young son. Husband and wife have been separated for a year because of a sexual encounter between the boy and his stepmother. Rigoberto misses Lucrecia desperately--filling notebooks with his memories, fantasies, and letters he will never send. Meanwhile, Alfonso visits Lucrecia, attempting to both win her love and reunite her with his father. A companion volume to In Praise of the Stepmother--where we were first introduced to these passionate characters--The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto is a compelling mix of fantasy and reality that always keep the reader guessing.
