Recommended for readers of Latin American literature and contemporary narrative who enjoy mystery, social criticism, and the Andean setting.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician.

Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom.
