few years ago that October had become a month of waiting for Peruvians. Mario Vargas Llosa, without doubt our most important writer with César Vallejo was a repeat candidate for Nobel Literature Prize and year after year as we saw also denied recognition to a long and deserved.
Today was different. We got up early with the news that the Swedish Academy had awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature to the creator, and many other beloved characters, Zavalita, Pantaleon, Don Anselmo and Pichulita Cuellar actors Conversation in the Cathedral, and Pantaleon visiting, La Casa Verde and Cubs, respectively.
The announcement, as we have used the Swedish Academy, hardly explains the reasons why he was awarded the highest literary award and recognition, as said the award is conferred by "mapping of the structures of power and its scathing images of individual resistance, rebellions and defeat " is in their works, something that probably not even the reporter knows what he means.
The truth is that this award is recognition of a work sustained over time, literally woven with a technical mastery of one who from set out to be a small farmer of the word and who has filled the mind images and events and aesthetic consciousness of its readers.
never be
Read an obligation (as Julio Cortázar once wrote, one of the great neglected by the Swedish Academy with his compatriot Jorge Luis Borges and the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy) and unless it is read Vargas Llosa, but I think the same way and today we go to restaurants to enjoy our food and our food culture, this is an excellent time to ask ourselves the task of raising the rate of reading in the country where until a few years ago we read only half a book a year, and also excellent for raising our skills in reading and understanding of what we read.
October 7 Today is a day of joy for Peruvian letters and literature written in English. A day of celebration for all Peruvians who began to get used to the good news and we should celebrate this award praises the work of Mario Vargas Llosa and perhaps also celebrates the work of César Vallejo, here in Peru suffered the same fate of writers who were denied at the time of recognition. But I wonder if there will be a day for all Peruvians and we agree perennicemos this time declaring the National Day of the Book or, even better: National Reading Day. Congratulations
Mario Vargas Llosa and Peru!
