Mario Vargas Llosa
Mario Vargas Llosa:A Retrospective Look Sara Castro-Klarén This review essay is prompted by the appearance of four important books on the work of Mario Vargas Llosa since he received the Nobel Prize in 2010.

Beyond Imagined Communities
Beyond imagined communities
How did the nationalisms of Latin America's many countries-elaborated in everything from history and fiction to cookery-arise from their common backgrounds in the Spanish and Portuguese empires and their similar populations of mixed European, native, and African origins? Beyond Imagined Communities: Reading and Writing the Nation in Nineteenth-Century Latin America, discards one answer and provides a rich collection of others. These essays began …
Framing Pan-Americanism
SIMÓN BOLÍVAR, THE HEIR TO THE MAYORAZGO 1 DE LA CONCEPCIÓN, WAS BORN in 1783 in Caracas and died at the age of 47 in 1830. Although he died a relatively young man, his body was broken by fever and his spirit destroyed by the chaos that ensued after the wars of independence were won. Gabriel García Márquez's The General in His Labyrinth (1990) is, of course, the most poignant chronicle of the Liberator's last months. But Bolívar's life cannot be …

Monumentos y escribas
Sara Castro Klarén estudia de qué manera en la novela "El Hablador" de Mario Vargas Llosa se critica la configuración del indígena como sujeto nacional en la escritura etnográfica indigenista. Según Castro-Klarén esta crítica es incoherente por partir de una paradoja en la que se cuestiona la carga ideológica de la etnografía y se considera que la novela por ser un producto estético es una escritura ideológicamente libre

The material is drawn from a wide range of sources, including fiction and poetry, excerpts from the testimonial writing of peasant women, labour and social activists and women writing about literature and the…

In a previous essay, Locura y dolor: la elaboraci6n de la historia en Os Sertoes y La guerra delfin del mundo,' I have tried to unhinge metaphor(s) by which both Euclides da Cunha and Mario Vargas Llosa elaborate their understanding of history and signification of events of Canudos as history. In that essay I showed first that Euclides da Cunha's original metaphor-Darwin's theory of evolution-reaches its own limits as soon as historical descripti…
