In Spain, Peru and Latin America, everyone talks about the separation between Mario Vargas Llosa and the socialite Isabel Preysler. Infinite theories are ventured to explain the reasons for the epic rupture between the Nobel Prize for Literature and the almost owner of the hello magazine.
SIGHT: Mario Vargas Llosa separated: What did his ex-wife Patricia say about his breakup with Isabel Preysler?
As some have believed, the Peruvian would have begun to tire of the relationship more than two years ago and to miss, beyond nostalgia, his ex-wife and mother of his three children, Patricia Llosa. The proof: A story of his authorship entitled ‘Los vientos’, published in 2021 in Letras Libres.

in the storyVargas Llosa It tells the story of a man his age (86 years old), who regrets having left his wife after getting involved with a woman, from whom he was only attracted by sex. As the Spanish say, to make matters worse, the ex-wife is called Carmen, the first name of her ex-wife Patricia.
‘I COMMITTED THE INSANITY’
One of the passages is explicit: “Every night, it seems incredible, since I committed the folly of leaving my wife, I think of her and remorse assails me. I think there was only one thing I did wrong in life: abandoning Carmencita for a woman who wasn’t worth it. Every night I think of her and I ask her forgiveness.

And adds: “I already forgot the name of that woman for whom I abandoned Carmencita. I never wanted her. It was a violent and fleeting infatuation, one of those crazy things that destroy a life. For doing what I did, my life broke up and I was never happy again… It was a crush on the pich…, not the heart. Of that pich… that no longer serves me for anything, except to pee”.
At the time, the story went unnoticed. But after the announcement made by Preysler, has been catapulted into the stratosphere. Especially since the Arequipeño’s alter ego is a man who loves culture and hates the show.
How not to think that it is Vargas Llosa who speaks through the story, if you read something like this: “It is impossible to enjoy a concert, or an opera and even a light comedy, surrounded by people who do nothing more than type or caress the tablets under their eyes.”
RETURN TO HIS HOUSE
“Sometimes I think that, without realizing it, what happens around me is contaminating me too and I no longer really know how to distinguish between what is culture and what takes its place in the crazy world in which we now live. Dinner impressed me a lot, it’s true, not because of the food, nothing fancy, but because of the holograms. All night we were surrounded by these ghostly characters, doubling as waiters or waitresses, serving the table, passing the platters with snacks and drinks.”
As a culmination of this role play, it is necessary to emphasize that the character flees from all that he does not like and goes to take refuge in his old house, on Calle de la Flora in Madrid, which is the house where Vargas Llosa lived with his cousin and ex-wife, Carmen Patricia Llosa.
