Critical Insights: Mario Vargas Llosa

0/5 ( ratings)

Unarguably the greatest active Spanish language novelist, Mario Vargas Llosa was rewarded with the Nobel Prize in 2010 for, in the Swedish Academys words, for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat. Beginning with Time of the Hero , the searing virtuoso modernist portrayal of the Leoncio Prado military school, which he had in fact attended, to the recent El heroe discreto , which presents an optimistic vision of his contemporary native Peru, Vargas Llosa has created an unusually vivid and complex fresco of his countrys twentieth and twenty first centurys political and social evolution. Vargas Llosa has also compellingly portrayed a peasant rebellion in 19th century Brazil in his masterwork The War of the End of the World , the brutal regime of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo in his The Feast of the Goat , Flora Tristans and her grandson Paul Gauguins search for political and artistic utopias in The Way to Paradise , and the personal and political struggles of English diplomat and Irish independence activist Roger Casement in The Dream of the Celt ."
