Aunt Khoulia and the screenwriter

Product description

I spent time thinking about the life of Pedro Camacho. What social environment and what chain of people, connections, problems, coincidences, and events resulted in that literary message (do I see it as literary? And if not, then what is it?), that message which was realized for him, crystallized in his works, and for which he has an audience? How could he be a comic version of the writer, although he is the only person deserving to be called a writer in Peru, considering the time he dedicated to writing and the works he accomplished? Are those politicians, lawyers, and teachers who bear titles of poets, novelists, and playwrights considered writers just because one of them has composed a poetic booklet or a brief collection of stories in a short period of their lives, most of which they spend in activities far from literature? Why are those who take literature as decoration or pretext considered more deserving than Pedro Camacho to be called writers, when he lived solely for writing?
