Denying the Speculations
Recently, a great uproar has been generated around the health of the writer Mario Vargas Llosa. In response to this situation, his wife has decided to stay aloof, without making public comments on the rumors that have circulated.
The Response of Álvaro Vargas Llosa
In an attempt to dispel concerns, Álvaro Vargas Llosa, son of the Peruvian author, has shared an image on his social network, X. In this photograph, the Nobel Prize winner appears swimming calmly in a pool, an image which contrasts markedly with the alarming information that has circulated recently.
A Clear Message
Álvaro expressed his displeasure with the speculation, stating that his family is outraged by the way his father’s health has been treated. ‘A week ago, oblivious to the noise of stupid people trying to shock the good faith of people like you,’ he wrote, making clear his rejection of falsehoods.
The Current State of Vargas Llosa
Sources close to the family have confirmed that, despite his advanced age of 88, Mario Vargas Llosa is in a ‘very acceptable’ condition.
The Growing Concern
However, concern about his health increased after photographs were published showing the writer visibly thinner and struggling to walk, requiring a cane and the help of a son to get around.
Silence and Resilience
Patricia Llosa, his wife, has chosen to remain silent in front of the media, an attitude she has already adopted on other occasions when faced with the invasion of her privacy.
Media reaction
The claims about Vargas Llosa’s state of health have sparked a strong media reaction, with opinions ranging from concern to speculation. Recently, a journalist suggested that, given his track record, the author deserves better attention.
A Future With Hope
Despite the circumstances, the family assures that Mario Vargas Llosa is ‘stable and very well cared for’, which provides some relief in the face of the storm of rumours. His story continues to inspire and capture attention, and his health will continue to be a topic of great interest to many.
