«Cartas a un joven novelista» is the epistolary essay by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
In letters to an aspiring writer, Vargas Llosa reflects on the origin of stories and the creative process from his experience as a novelist. It is not a manual but an inquiry into the craft: how vocation is born, where plots come from, and what blend of intuition, discipline, and fantasy sustains fiction.
The book belongs to the Biblioteca Vargas Llosa collection and was first published on 21 February 2011.
For aspiring writers and readers interested in the creative process of a Nobel Prize in Literature winner.
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".
