1937- . Peruvian novelist, author of La
ciudad y los perros/The Time of the Hero 1963
and La guerra del fin del mundo/The War at
the End of the World 1982. As a writer he
belongs to the magic realist school. La tia
Julia y el escribidor/Aunt Julia and the
Scriptwriter 1977 is a humorously
autobiographical novel. Vargas Llosa began as
a communist and turned to the political
right. He ran unsuccessfully for the
presidency in 1990. He has been criticized
for being out of touch with Peru's large
Quechua Indian community.
