Book summary
Internationally acclaimed novelist Mario Vargas Llosa has contributed a biweekly column to Spains major newspaper, El País, since 1977. In this collection of columns from the 1990s, Vargas Llosa weighs in on the burning questions of the last decade, including the travails of
Latin American democracy, the role of religion in civic life, and the future of globalization. But Vargas Llosas influence is hardly limited to politics. In some of the liveliest critical writing of his career, he makes a pilgrimage to Bob Marleys shrine in Jamaica, celebrates the sexual abandon of Carnaval in Rio, and examines the legacies of Vermeer, Bertolt Brecht, Frida Kahlo, and Octavio Paz, among others.
