Great writers are primarily great chroniclers of their countries. Peru's Mario Vargas Llosa

Arequipa (Peru)

Similarly it is impossible to understand without reading the Uruguay Mario Benedetti or we would find it difficult to unravel the peculiarities and mysteries of Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala and Paraguay without delve into the characters and experiences, often incredible, that describe, respectively, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortazar, Jorge Amado, Miguel Angel Asturias and Augusto Roa Bastos (although we should not forget the impressive generation of writers that have happened) ... "how to discover the Peruvian reality without making contact with the experiences that have left the pen and mind of Mario Vargas Llosa in his early novels, which follow dazzling yet?

Some say that all Latin American countries are similar and that there are realities that appear scattered them everywhere. It is an affirmation I share but it is also true that the respective political experiences, the paths cultural events that create unusual oddities and even the features of the landscape mosaic just qualifying the affinities and contrasts, similarities and nuances of the world marked surprising in the sense that it lacks any attempt at simplification.

Mario Vargas Llosa people are talking about, well these days, in which personally I agree with Gale deserved praise and recognition to one of the best storytellers of our time. Only allude to it, and I applaud that stance not selective for the rights humans in contrasting his criticism, sometimes justified, to leftist regimes in the clamorous silence to violations committed in other like Colombia or Honduras, which has never spoken. I do not remember having read Vargas Llosa's writing in a critical sense alluding to the conservative regimes in Latin America.

His inventive capacity and quality of literary expression are, however, amazing. Congratulations to the teacher who writes beautifully and left us enduring works. But for me, in this scenario of multiple apologies and justified, takes on special meaning the impact that years ago I was, reading "Conversations in the Cathedral " , blunt question Zavala Santiago, the protagonist of the work was done, waiting for an answer that supports many perspectives: " What time is fucked Peru? ".

is not easy to summarize in one sentence what is a treatise on history, geography, thinking and political sensitivity. The reading of that work, and particularly of this phrase, I found the figure of Vargas Llosa, to the point that, being at that time (1969) responsible for Library of the College of Santa Cruz University of Valladolid, organized a series of meetings - starting with a very interesting debate on " City and dogs ", which was followed by another, even more crowded on " Captain Pantoja and the " - better known for the stunning Peruvian writer, to bring down the Centre's management fund the acquisition of all titles Vargas Llosa published to date in Spain. And there are still those first editions, now locate.

The phrase has become a topic in a hose coming out of your mouth when you meet a Peruvian throughout the world . Is a phrase that does not bother, which means almost as a compliment, as the starting point of a conversation that may end up giving much of himself. Appears from time to time decorating, as "painted" inexcusable, the walls of the Peruvian universities and the streets of cities, large and small. But the important thing is that no one forgets that this term arose from the literature, concern a Peruvian writer their land from someone who has toured the world relentlessly, which is friendly and talkative great, although the formal tone of your message changes when alluding to his own country, their roots, in this fucked up world still be felt when approaching Lima, Ayacucho, Cuzco, Arequipa or your home.

Perhaps, when you find it anywhere in the world, few will remember him the question of Santiago Zavala, knowing that they are not going to bother to do this, because surely the brilliant prize Nobel Literature is very clear conscience that question, which is both a cry, opened Answers in Peru for all tastes. There is no way to formulate it in any meeting with Peru to attend suddenly, astonished, to spectacular history lessons and policy at tremendous awe and devastating they are.
