«La amigdalitis de Tarzán» is the novel by Peruvian writer Alfredo Bryce Echenique, published by Alfaguara in paperback (319 pages, in Spanish).
A Peruvian singer-songwriter in Paris and a young Salvadoran aristocrat narrate through letters a prolonged romantic falling-out: they love each other, but life separates them again and again. The letters, the meetings on both sides of the Atlantic and the certainty of a mutual feeling sustain the hope of a reunion; she, the strong woman who gives the novel its name, is Tarzán.
The work, an epistolary novel, belongs to Peruvian narrative and is cataloged as Literature and Fiction; the edition is from 1999.
For readers of Peruvian and Latin American narrative and for those who enjoy love stories told through letters.
