Library Journal Review

Peruvian Bayly is the consummate triple threat: TV host, journalist, and novelist. His works have earned him an avalanche of praise from critics and peers, including fellow Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa and the late Chilean Roberto Bolaño, who remarked that Bayly was one of the few authors who could write about "anything and everything." Indeed, his literary works range from sex to drugs to politics, and he imbues them with the same wit, humor, and vitality he brings to his TV hosting duties. Now, the publisher has begun issuing new editions of Bayly's dozen works-two of which have been adapted for the big screen-and including a prolog by the author. Of Yo amo a mi mami, originally published in 1999, Bayly here admits that he wanted to craft a novel about childhood innocence. Loosely based on Bayly's childhood-the narrative features young Jimmy, who forms an unlikely bond with a female cook-the novel is written with literary panache, revealing not only Bayly's chops as a novelist but also his love of flesh-and-blood characters. But a Bayly novel would not be a novel if it were not also simultaneously a critique by the author on the social trappings of religion, the class-based racism of the Peruvian oligarchy, and the machismo and homophobia of the modern Latin American man, all elements in evidence here.
