«Cartas a un joven novelista» is the epistolary essay by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Planeta in hardback (157 pages, in Spanish).
Through letters addressed to an imaginary interlocutor, Vargas Llosa reflects on the novelist's craft and breaks down the elements that make up a narrative: style, form, point of view, characters, space and time. To illustrate his ideas, he draws on classics by Joyce and Proust.
Work published in 1997 in Barcelona, within the collection La línea del horizonte; it corresponds to the first edition with illustrated dust jacket.
Reference work for aspiring writers and students of literary creation, with interest in Vargas Llosa's essayistic work and the epistolary genre.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
