One of my favorite authors just won the Nobel Prize for Literature
Mario Vargas Llosa
These are 2 of my favorites books
The Feast of the Goat is about the horrid dictator of the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961. It is a political thriller, told by a young girl returning to the Dominican Republic 30 years after the assassination. She had fled as a 14 year old girl and she came back for answers.
The Storyteller is about a Peruvian man who is living in Europe and becomes fascinated with a remote tribe living in the Amazon. It is a detective story that becomes so much more as Mr. Llosa comments on the implications and ethics of the developing region and the cultural impacts.
Viva Peru!
