Asi, grupos de...

En La Fiesta del Chivo (2000) asistimos a un doble retorno. Mientras Urania visita a su padre en Santo Domingo, volvemos a 1961, cuando la capital dominicana aun se llamaba Ciudad Trujillo. Alli un hombre que no suda tiraniza a tres millones de personas sin saber que se gesta una maquiavelica transicion a la democracia. Con un ritmo y una precision dificilmente superables, este peruano universal muestra que la politica puede consistir en abrirse camino entre cadaveres, y que un ser inocente...

Ironic and sensual, provocative and redemptive, Harsh Times is a story of international...

Vargas Llosa realiza un valiosísimo análisis de la obra de Juan Carlos Onetti haciendo hincapié en una preocupación que comparte ambos autores: la complicada y al mismo tiempo necesaria relación entre la ficción literaria y la realidad.«El tema de la ficción y la vida es una constante que, desde tiempos remotos, aparece en la literatura. Pero acaso en ningún otro autor moderno aparezca con tanta fuerza y originalidad como en las novelas y los cuentos de Juan Carlos Onetti, una obra que, sin...
