Jaime Bayly (edit name/settings)

Jaime Bayly Letts (born February 19, 1965 (age 46), in Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian writer, journalist and television personality. He is the third of 10 children and is known as "el niño terrible" (the terrible boy).

His novel No se lo Digas a Nadie (Don't Tell Anyone) inspired a screenplay in 1998 directed by Francisco Lombardi starring Santiago Magill and Christian Meier. He wrote other novels, all of them on politics, sexual freedom and friendship. Several of his books contain recurring semi-autobiographical elements (e.g. bisexual cocaine using Peruvian newscaster who moves to Miami). The character for "El Cojo" is supposedly based on his father who was also lame. His characters are often heartless & amoral which makes it difficult to identify with them.
