Mario Vargas Llosa: accomplices to Antagonist

(This brief sketch shows how it was 33 years ago that Vargas Llosa has not dreamed of reaching the Nobel Prize deLiteratura)

A new book of his already out there. In it, Varguitas, the writer, tells us when it was hands with his aunt Julia. It's sweet soulful passion that Vargas Llosa known cause of our aunts. The smooth and discreet ladies in Lima. The aunts here.

He is a man neat and tidy, full suit and toothy grin. His machismo has won, they say, come to blows with García Márquez. Prior to these annoyances, explained to me one day the happy collusion between Latin American writers: "In a novel by Carlos Fuentes, several characters go into a bar and a forgotten author, who left inside. Well, at One Hundred years of Solitude, Garcia Marquez makes his hero go to that bar, just to get the guy who stayed there. "

Literature. And reality. If I have that when he met Vargas Llosa had his fly open, look erotic fable. But it was only carelessness. Now comes, just say, "to know who are the ones I read." Then, however, the TV came Lima and writer postponed my interview: "Sorry, old but the TV is first."
