Kathie and the Hippopotamus

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by MARIO VARGAS LLOSA translated by EVELYN FISHBURN and BERNARD KRICHEFSKI adapted by BERNARD KRlCHEFSKl and The second of three plays in a season of Latin-American writing.
When Kathie Kennety , a rich Peruvian, dictates her travel memoirs to her ghost-writer,
Santiago, she finds that the style of his purple prose frees both of them to create more dramatic lines for themselves.
