"I am personally grateful for the work of Mario Vargas Llosa, which has deeply challenged and transformed my view of myself and the worldThis exceptional volume has helped me to see the impact of the Nobel Laureate's writing and life experiences with even greater clarity and appreciation."-David P. Wiseman, Hispania "We do need really innovative books on Mario Vargas Llosa’s prose, and this one could be a standard. . . . Professors Chang-RodrÍguez and RiobÓ adeptly gather essays presented originally as lectures for the Mario Vargas Llosa Chair at the City University of New York, complemented here by thematic readings of some of his novels, conversations with the writer, and a couple of his articles."-Will H. Corral, Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas “This book allows us to see Mario Vargas Llosa from a personal perspective that is nonetheless political. . . . As we study again his uses of time and space, literary techniques, original characterizations, and embedded political metaphors about the world we inhabit, we confirm that Vargas Llosa has created a literary universe of his own that resists labels and continues to evolve.”-Oswaldo Estrada, author of Troubled Memories: Iconic Mexican Women and the Traps of Representation
