La Amigdalitis De Tarzán by Alfredo Bryce Echenique

A witty and melancholy short novel that mixes memory, humor and social satire as it follows the narrator’s recollections of adolescence, friendships and awkward rites of passage. An episode involving a boy nicknamed Tarzán and his bout of tonsillitis becomes the catalyst for reflections on family dynamics, first loves, petty bourgeois manners and the bittersweet ache of growing up — rendered in warm, ironic prose that moves between comic detail and tender nostalgia.
