The essays included in Talking Books with Mario Vargas Llosa
celebrate Mario Vargas Llosa's visits to the City College of New
York, the creation of the Catedra Vargas Llosa in his honor, and
the interests of the Peruvian author in reading and books. This
volume contains previously unpublished material by Vargas Llosa
himself, as well as by novelists and literary critics associated
with the Catedra. This collection offers readers an opportunity to
learn about Vargas Llosa's body of work through multiple
perspectives: his own and those of eminent fiction writers and
important literary critics. The book offers significant analysis
and rich conversation that bring to life many of the Nobel
Laureate's characters and provide insights into his writing process
and imagination. As the last surviving member of the original group
of writers of the Latin American Boom-which included Gabriel Garcia
Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Julio Cortazar-Vargas Llosa endures as
a literary icon because his fiction has remained fresh and
innovative. His prolific works span many different themes and
subgenres. A combination of literary analyses and anecdotal
contributions in this volume reveal the little-known human and
intellectual dimensions of Vargas Llosa the writer and Vargas Llosa
the man.
