Internationally acclaimed Peruvian writer Alfredo Bryce Echenique portrays in his novel Tarzan's tonsillitis, a love story between Juan Manuel Carpio, a composer and singer from Peru, and Fernanda María de la Trinidad del Monte, a Salvadoran married to a Chilean exile. Although their love affair is mostly experienced through their letters, the reader follows their thirty-year relationship through their multiple escapades set in Paris, El Salvador, Chile, California, and London.
