«Los cachorros» is the short story by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
Published in 1967, this short story recreates the youth of a group of friends and is narrated with a plural voice that moves between the characters. Its ambiguity has given rise to diverse interpretations: an evocation of adolescence, a parable of the powerlessness of a social class, or a reflection of the castrated artist in the underdeveloped world.
The work belongs to Cátedra's Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 670), in an edition by Guadalupe Fernández Ariza.
A common reading in academic settings, for literature students and readers interested in twentieth-century Hispano-American narrative.
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".
