Mario Vargas Llosa’s condition has improved significantly. Since the Nobel Prize for Literature was admitted to the Ruber clinic in Madrid for a positive in Covid-19, there were doubts about his health. However, after six days in the hospital and five since being discharged, the 87-year-old writer has reappeared looking healthier. The Peruvian appears in some images published on social networks, reviewing his latest novel, thinner but in good shape and with a certain wink.
Álvaro Vargas Llosa was in charge of sharing the photographs of his father on Twitter, under the citation “Latest revisions of the novel among grandchildren eager to know.” The author posed next to his grandchildren and holding one of his manuscripts, going over details with them and taking more relaxed shots. The images also show a reference to the Preysler family: the cap he wore on his head was from Cocowi Brand, the brand created by Fernando Verdasco and Ana Boyer.
Precisely the latter has been one of the closest ties he has had with the family since his break with his mother, Isabel Preysler. Boyer coincided at the Ruber clinic in Madrid with her husband, Fernando Verdasco, a few days after the writer was admitted for his positive for Covid. As detailed by the magazine Lecturas, the couple went to the hospital for reasons that are still unknown, and that could not necessarily have been related to the health of the Nobel.
The relationship between Ana and Mario was complicated in its early stages. Her influencer was very close to her father, Miguel Boyer, so it was difficult for her to assimilate that her mother very quickly remade her life with the Peruvian writer. Many were the moments in which Preysler tried to mediate peace and spend time together, but her daughter chose to move in with her husband and, according to rumors, avoid taking photos together. Something that the young woman always denied, assuring that “the important thing is that my mother is happy.”
The author was precisely one of the great absentees at the wedding of another of Isabel Preysler’s daughters: Tamara Falcó. The socialite married Íñigo Onieva last Saturday and this week they headed for their honeymoon, with a destination still unknown to the media. Beyond a small intervention in which he predicted happiness for them, Vargas Llosa has remained oblivious to the statements or reactions of what happened last weekend in El Rincón.
Despite a break that was not easy, the writer and his ex-wife and mother of his children have had several encounters over time. Preysler was by his side when he exceptionally entered as a new member of the French Academy, and also in the delivery of Dominican nationality. In view of this good harmony, some media came to rumor that they had reconciled. However, the Peruvian author never confirmed or denied such an extreme.
