El morbo literario es el motor. Todos conocen la versión pública de Vargas Llosa: el Nobel, el marqués, el político liberal. Pero el "Varguitas" no dicho sería el hombre rencoroso, el amante frustrado, el rival literario. El público ansía la versión sucia, la carta que nunca se envió, el borrador que se quemó.

The relationship began as a scandal: a romance between a 19-year-old student and his 29-year-old aunt-by-marriage. Urquidi describes "Varguitas" (her diminutive for him) as a pampered and sometimes arrogant young man whom she supported through his formative years. Her book fills the gaps left by the novelist—specifically the "missing years" of their marriage that he summarized in mere sentences. JULIA URQUIDI ILLANES LO QUE VARGUITAS NO DIJO 5
