«El viaje a la ficción» is the literary criticism essay by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Vargas Llosa analyses the work of Juan Carlos Onetti around the relationship between fiction and reality. He argues that almost all of Onetti's narrative constitutes a refuge woven from words and images in the face of everyday defeat, and that imagination allows escape towards an alternative world. The essay explores the origin of literature as a response to the limits of real life.
The subtitle is «El mundo de Juan Carlos Onetti». It belongs to the Hispánica collection from Alfaguara, and the edition was published on 7 November 2008.
For readers of literary essays, followers of Vargas Llosa, and those who want to approach the narrative of Juan Carlos Onetti.
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".
