“Llosa writes an unabashed love story and makes no apologies for it. He seamlessly weaves it into the rich texture of the social atmosphere of the times. . . . Written with passion and energy that delivers.†―Rocky Mountain News“Perversely charming . . . irresistibly entertaining.†―The Washington Post Book World“A marvelous novel.†―Chicago Tribune“Spans decades and continents--and in the process, with a deftness that borders on literary sleight of hand, bridges the personal and the universal.†―San Francisco Chronicle“A beautifully constructed, stinging tease of a novel.†―The Seattle Times

The first half of this beautiful tale Vargas llosa builds the reader's hatred for the bad girl. As she abuses the protagonist she demonstrates the universal difference in matters of pathologic love, between the one you love and the one who loves you. Only rarely for the flawed can they be the same person and mutually complementary. More often the conflict and jealousy are drawn in shameful displays that Vargos Llosa draws masterfully in these characters' lifetime of love. The second half of the book draws out our sympathy for the complex creature Ricardo loves, though he stays true to himself through the decades. Certainly the screenwriters of Forest Gump borrowed from this masterpiece in creating Jenny. The ending is a poignant tear jerker.
I enjoyed reading the parts of the story about the "bad girl" and the "good boy." I did not like all the detail about the politics and conflicts going on in other countries, and so I tried to skip over those pages. It is for that reason I gave it only 3 stars. That said, I know there are many who would enjoy this book.
A fascinating story well told. Llosa is a first rate writer. This book is an enjoyable read. It goes on my list of favorites. I’ve told several of my friends about it. I have not read Llosa for a long time. This book reminds me to do it more often.
For anyone who has read 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, zip on over to the other side of the Pacific and pick up THE BAD GIRL by Mario Vargas Llosa. The books share some of the same concerns about how the sexes get along, and I particularly loved the translations, by Jay Rubin and Philip Gabriel from the Japanese, and Edith Grossman from the Spanish. They all captured the oddball juxtapositions and quirky events with the perfect tone in English. Anyone interested in following modern literature from other countries that is serious without being overblown, yet funny at times, should read both these books! And if you like to read in bed, I would recommend reading the Murakami on your Kindle, because it's one heavy 925-page brick.
Well crafted and well written. A totally different kind of story from Mario Vargas Llosa, who continues to amaze with his ability to entertain, inform, and cause thoughtful reflection, over such a diverse range of subjects, characters, personalities, periods of history, and countries. We, as readers, are the beneficiaries of a unique mind and unbelievably talented writer. This book is light-hearted, spirited, entertaining fun!
I thought I knew about obsession, but not really until I read this novel. Wow. It also gives intimate views of Lima, London, and Paris, especially Paris in mid-19th Century. The narrator is a translator and interpreter, which opens the scope of the novel to literature, art, and worldwide cities where his talents take him. His personal life is a disaster, however, because of the bad girl. She personifies the expression "when she was bad, she was horrid."
Llosa paints this little melancholic masterpiece in quiet hues. Its effect is almost subliminal on the reader who naturally becomes ever concerned with the ever changing, mysteriously engrossing bad girl. I was left with confounded feelings as young Lily had played out her last cancerous enrapturements,but am still somewhat shaken by LLosa's unique perspectives on love and responsibility to a loved one. When the bad girl is in the book, the novel shines with excitement. The glow wanes too quickly, however, when she is gone and we must hear the non-substantively droll dialogues about peruvian politics. So too are the men in the bad girl's experience. They appear stick-figured and one dimensional. There is only brief hope in her japanese tormentor, but just what is llosa saying here? In one of the most bizarre sexual scenes that I have read, llosa goes over the top into laughable, and utterly incongruous kink. All in all, a very good read but strangely unsatisfying. We only get to the surface of the protangonist(who himself seems somewhat androgynous and emotionally amorphous). Right when we are about to feel for them, one is gone; the other too easily disembarks on more tranquil pursuits. But a powerful ending and a sense of love and lust and quiet obsession being just this way makes this novel a particular standout read.
My book club read "The Bad Girl" and its inspiration, "Madame Bovary" by Flaubert. Mario Vargas Llosa has updated the French classic in a way that at first glance might seem unclear. How is the protean protagonist (who goes by many names and guises) similar to Emma Bovary? Emma was provincial and doomed by the tightly controlled times in which she lived, the girl in this novel (set in '60s and '70s) travels the world, has many lovers and husbands, and seems to have far more control over her life. For a while, it seems the narrator, who is doomed to love the bad girl for his whole life, is the tragic figure.It is a worthwhile exercise to read this book and "Bovary" together. I recommend reading Flaubert first. His novel is surprisingly readable, and a revealing look at the pre-feminist world. Vargas Llosa seems to be deconstructing feminism a bit... do women really have more choices today or are they just doomed to gain power through sexuality? The bad girl, despite more freedom, has moments of sexual humiliation that might make you wonder about her control over her own life.What the novels have in common is an strong anti-passion theme. Characters driven my their passions, held hostage by them, do not fare well in the narrative. By contrast, the more reasoned and dispassionate characters fare better. Whether deliberately or not, both novels seem influenced by orthodox Christian attitudes about temperence and prudence. I also think Vargas Llosa is doing a postmodern deconstruction of feminism and sexuality and coming up with less than a full endorsement of either.
