This Companion's chapters chart the development of Vargas Llosa's writings from his rise to prominence in the early 1960s to the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010. The volume traces the development of his literary trajectory and the ways in which he has re-invented himself as a writer. His vast output of narrative fiction is the main focus, but the connections between his concerns as a creative writer and his rich career as a cultural and political figure are also teased out in this engaging, informative book. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 676 $a863/.64 686 $aLIT004100$2bisacsh 702 $aKristal$b Efrai?n$f1959- 702 $aKing$b John$f1950- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210339703316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Mario Vargas Llosa$92493736 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
