«El hablador» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa published by Seix Barral in paperback (237 pages, in Spanish).
The novel alternates two voices: that of the narrator recalling a youth companion fascinated by Amazonian culture, and that of a «hablador», an itinerant storyteller who preserves the collective memory of the Machiguenga people of the Peruvian Amazon. Their convergence shows the power of fiction and its role in very different societies.
Novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, originally published in 1987. This paperback edition appeared in 1991 in the Biblioteca Breve collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Latin American literature, particularly those interested in the work of the Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.
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".
