The elusive Nobel has finally reached the hands of the most important Peruvian novelist of all time. And he gets so unprepared, just when everyone thought it would a stranger again. Loli Varas
Sunday, an old childhood friend, is a great player, but above all a passionate-and sometimes fanatical admirer of Mario Vargas Llosa. It was he who called me at home too early to communicate that its canonical writer had won the Nobel Prize. After his words, happy and run over, I felt the emotion of someone who believes that justice has been done and, above all, who feel that the triumph of the author of Conversation in the Cathedral is the triumph of his readers.
The intellectual and power
The dawn of Thursday, 7 October is certainly one of the crucial moments of the Peruvian culture. What is more because it is the triumph of a writer who has maintained a relationship with Peru contradictory, say love-hate. The same people who previously criticized him bitterly for his tight defense of freedom, now boasts that has achieved universal laurel all writers aspire. This is the same as in 1990 elected as president Alberto Fujimori, now under arrest on charges of corruption and crimes against humanity, and then agreed to accuse him of betraying the country have qualified for dual citizenship. In fact, Mario Vargas Llosa was English to prevent Fujimori and Montesinos regime stripped him of his rights.
His ideological position was for years, apparently, the main reason for not being awarded the Nobel. It has been said over and over again, and sometimes with good reason that the Swedish Academy not frowned upon to behave like a liberal and defended with such capitalist economy fervor. This marginalization suffered by the Borges, who accepted a medal and did not criticize Pinochet with the firmness required Videla's dictatorship. Thanks to this, they say, the Argentine writer never joined the list of winners centuries. This means that the prize you just won the Peruvian novelist somehow breaks with the tradition of rewarding leftists and social democrats. Indirectly recognizes the brilliant Nobel: "... I concluded that I was not in the identikit of the Nobel, I am a writer confrontational, take uncomfortable positions, right or wrong I always say what I think of things, and all that made me believe that no was the writer who fit with the way you view literature from the jury. "
His condition belligerent intellectual and writer uncomfortable has brought many conflicts with power. The main argument is jurors who have given the Nobel "for his mapping of the structures of power and its incisive images of individual resistance, revolt and defeat" that develop in their work. We may not According to his defense of liberal, but accept that this is a man who despite his ideological transformation has kept intact the faith in human freedom and fierce rejection of any form of dictatorship. I do not believe, as they believe their rivals that we should separate the writer from the city or the writer of man to recognize the value of his thought.
Literature Marriage with Mario Vargas Llosa
was nominated for the Nobel Prize since before the gray invading his cavalry. Several decades later, seventy, with his hair and donated by the unrelenting whiteness, has jumped from the routine list of nominees to the list enduring the most important writers on the planet. The Nobel has come when least expected.
His proclamation as winner, as journalists have found him red-handed, while preparing to teach classes on Borges at the University of Princeton. The glory, that "Mrs. impertinent "call those who have been touched by it, could not catch him in his underwear. Vargas Llosa is that, as stated by Juan Carlos Onetti years, maintains a relationship with the literature of other writers married while living one of adultery.
In these last hours I have wondered, as it surely made my friend Domingo Varas Loli-why would admire Mario Vargas Llosa. There will, of course, for their ideological convictions, that we share them, but by hard work and dedication with which he has written books and made a commitment to literature: "The literary vocation not a hobby, a sport, a game refined practiced in leisure time. It is a dedicated and exclusive, a priority that can override anything, a freely chosen servitude that makes its victims (of such victims) slaves "(In Letters to a Young Novelist ).
From story libor Heads (1959) to test Trek fiction (2008) about through nearly fifty books. But Vargas Llosa Maro is not admirable for having written so many texts, but the technical quality of their creations, the ambition with which reproduces the real parallel universes, the humor and irony in depicting the miseries of the world, the psychological complexity , social and cultural development that addresses their stories, the sensitivity and intelligence with which we transmitted the ideas and deeds of his characters, and passion, especially passion, facing what he calls "the freely chosen servitude."
chosen servitude
Mario Vargas Llosa, in essence, an anti-model. The conventional view we have of a writer is someone who writes when he can and wants, living hand to mouth because it has a steady job, which relies more on inspiration than perspiration, which does not carry an agenda and lead his life on the run and stumble, who believes in immortality rather than the glory of this, which makes it averse to power and material welfare, which suffers from a rare disease of romance and is considered by society as a rather odd and uncomfortable.
From the author of Conversation in the Cathedral would say that is just the opposite. This is a fan of fixed hours, a cycle of writing, an essayist who trusts in the rigor than in the imagination, this passionate and convinced that the inspiration must come as the writer works . In 2003, a minute before the interview I did for the newspaper Industry said, "Well, do not waste time, go to work." Since then, I knew he had a passion literary high fence. In this tyrant of the discipline was just given nothing less than the Nobel Prize for Literature. My friend can not be Sunday Varas Loli joy in your skin.
