«Le dedico mi silencio» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Toño Azpilcueta, a Lima professor passionate about criolla music, believes this genre can unite a Peru fractured by the violence of Sendero Luminoso. After discovering guitarist Lalo Molfino, he decides to investigate his life and write a book proving that waltzes, marineras, polkas, and huainos can break down racial prejudices and spark a social revolution. The novel blends fiction and essay around the utopia of building a national identity through art.
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".
