The Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa has been acclaimed throughout the
literary world as one of Latin America's finest writers, yet until
recently little has been written about his work in English. While
his work has the subject of an increasing flow of critical
commentary in Spanish and his major novels have been translated
into English, this is the first full-scale critical treatment of
Vargas Llosa published in the English language. These articles by a
number of established writers and critics appraise Vargas Llosa's
individual novels as well as the body of his work. The Time of the
Hero, The Green House, Conversation in The Cathedral, and Pantaleon
y las visitadoras are examined in order of publication, A second
group of more general essays ranges across Vargas Llosa's work and
explores pervasive themes and concerns. Two pieces by Jose Miguel
Oviedo serve as a coda. In a bilingual interview, Oviedo and Vargas
Llosa discuss Vargas Llosa's novel La tia Julia y el escribidor.
Oviedo concludes with a critical discussion of that novel. A Vargas
Llosa chronology compiled by the editors is also included. Most of
these essays originally appeared in 1977 as a special issue of
Texas Studies in Literature and Language. The concluding essay by
Oviedo was prepared especially for this edition.
