Vargas Llosa como nunca te lo contaron | Dudas Eternas Ep.81

Writer, politician, polemicist, Nobel Prize winner in Literature... and the protagonist of more than one controversy. In this episode of Eternal Doubts, we debunk the myth of Mario Vargas Llosa to talk about the man, his books, his ideas (and contradictions). Was he really part of the Latin American Boom? What does he have to do with Fujimori, García Márquez, or radical liberalism? How did he go from denouncing dictatorships to taking selfies with the European right? With facts, context, and a dash of irony, we analyze the lesser-known side of the author of The City and the Dogs, Conversation in the Cathedral, and The Fish in the Water. Because Vargas Llosa is much more—or much less—than what you've been told.
