«El hablador» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published in 1987 in paperback (237 pages, in Spanish).
A narrator with autobiographical echoes recalls a Lima youth companion, Mascarita, fascinated by Amazonian culture. In parallel, an anonymous speaker of the Machiguenga people evokes with poetic language the memory, history, and myths of his people. The crossing of both voices shows the links between fiction, identity, and community.
The work belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection.
For readers of contemporary Latin American fiction interested in the encounter between personal memory and Amazonian cultures.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
