Online discussion Mario Vargas Llosa's Interview

◆Online discussion Mario Vargas Llosa's Interview



     


    Vargas Llosa rose to international fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero , The Green House (La casa verde, 1965/1968), and the monumental Conversation in the Cathedral . Many of Vargas Llosa's works are influenced by the writer's perception of Peruvian society and his own experiences as a native Peruvian. Increasingly, however, he has expanded his range, and tackled themes that arise from other parts of the world. In his essays, Vargas Llosa has made many criticisms of nationalism in different parts of the world.[6] Another change over the course of his career has been a shift from a style and approach associated with literary modernism, to a sometimes playful postmodernism.

     Like many Latin American writers, Vargas Llosa has been politically active throughout his career. While he initially supported the Cuban revolutionary government of Fidel Castro, Vargas Llosa later became disenchanted with its policies, particularly after the imprisonment of Cuban poet Heberto Padilla in 1971. He ran for the Peruvian presidency in 1990 with the center-right Frente Democrático coalition, advocating classical liberal reforms, but lost the election to Alberto Fujimori. He is the person who, in 1990, "coined the phrase that circled the globe," declaring on Mexican television, "Mexico is the perfect dictatorship," a statement which became an adage during the following decade.
