mario * vargas * llosa Fabiola Santiago of the Miami Herald: Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa — author of some of the most celebrated literature in Latin America and a beloved figure in Miami, a city he has often visited — won the Nobel Prize for Literature on Thursday. In elegant and clear prose, Vargas Llosa chronicled the machinations of power and the powerful in Latin America in narratives that engrossed readers in the most intimate details of a character’s life. Whether writing about a dictator in Santo Domingo — the “goat” in his acclaimed novel “The Feast of the Goat” — or about the mysterious woman who consumes a man’s life in “The Bad Girl,” Vargas Llosa masterfully captured the essence of modern times and what drives people to their fates.
