Rent Touchstones: Essays on Literature, Art, and Politics

Synopsis

One of Latin America's most garlanded novelists—and winner of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature—Mario Vargas Llosa is also an acute and wide-ranging cultural critic and acerbic political commentator. Touchstones collects Vargas Llosa's brilliant readings of landmark twentieth-century novels—from Heart of Darkness to The Tin Drum—as well as incisive essays on political and social thinkers and contemporary pieces on 9/11 and the immediate aftermath of the war in Iraq.
