Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, he is commonly known as "Mario Vargas Llosa". He is a Peruvian writer,politician,journalist,essayist & college professor.Vargas Llosa is one of Latin America's most significant novelist & essayist & one of the leading writer of his generation.
He was awarded Nobel Prize for literature in 2010. His most recent Novel is " The Neighborhood ". He was interviewed for the World Post by -Michael Skafidas , a journalist & professor of comparative literature at the City University of New York.
" If you are killed because you are a writer, that's the maximum expression of respect, you know."
- Mario Vargas Llosa.
Mario Vargas Llosa's style encompasses historical material as well as his own personal experiences.
For Example:- Im his novel "The Time of The Hero": his own experiences at the Leoncio Prado military school informed his depiction of the corrupt social institution which mocked the moral standards it was supposed to uphold.
In his recent interview Llosa shared many ideas related to literary work, but I liked 2 ideas given by him.
● Idea on Feminism
● Ideas & Images
1. Here Llosa gave on idea on Feminism. He gave an example of feminists attacked in Nabokov's "Lolita", it is the best novel of 20th century. In this novel feminist attacked about male characters. We can see this stupidity destroy the charm of literature.
The idea about good & evil characters in literature is good because literature is not perfect without evil characters. If everything is perfect then it's not more attractive for readers. Sometimes our criticism destroyed the charm of literature.
Let see this below video:
2. Coming towards the second point he said that nowadays people give more importance to images for expressing ideas which is harmful..... because Images are sometimes fake....
So express the ideas is more reliable rather than images.
Thank-you.
