Online discussion : Mario Vargas Llosa ' interview


  • Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist and awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 2010.




  • In this interview Llosa shared many ideas related to literary work in which I liked some  ideas given by Llosa.
  • Novelist is the Historian.
  • Idea on Feminism.
  • Ideas and Images.

  • History and Literature are faces of a coin. They are so close and in many cases the litraty version of historical part prevails over historian 's account. The literature is still very close to living. experience. Novelists is the historian of the unrecorded'.  Given sentence is very true through literature you get idea about social, political and religious background the ages. Literature record dark side of country, person etc. Here Llosa gives an example of Leo Tolstoy's greatest Novel "War and Peace" which is related to the Russian history and many writers used to wrote about historical aspect .

  • the image and ideas. In this points Llosa said that today's world young generation give the importance to image more than ideas. It is very harmful to youth that they think  images are creative for modern time but they do not think that this century is the age of Photoshop and post truth.

  • Idea about feminism vargas Llosa think it is right to denounce abuse against Women. These abuses we are find everywhere. So I have total sympathy for Me too Movement. It is for more justice ,for democracy and equality. In our society now we have a kind of problem for feminism. It has become very sectarian and dogmatic. Also he gave here example of feminist attacked Nabovok's 'Lolita'.   This is greatest novel of 20th century and with this criterion literature will disappear.


Thank you.. .... ....
