«La casa verde» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Seix Barral in hardback (301 pages, in Spanish).
The novel takes place in two opposite places in Peru: Piura, in the coastal desert, and Santa María de Nieva, a religious mission in the Amazon. Around the house of pleasure that the outsider don Anselmo builds on the outskirts of Piura, several voices and time jumps weave a choral story about exploitation, corruption, and identity.
The novel was originally published in 1966 and won the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa Castellana and the Premio Internacional de Novela Rómulo Gallegos.
Recommended for readers of Hispanic American fiction and the Latin American boom looking for a choral and experimental novel.
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".
