The Feast of the Goat is a novel by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, published in 2000. The novel is set in the Dominican Republic during the final years of the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. Through multiple perspectives and time jumps, Vargas Llosa constructs a story about power, corruption, and the aftermath of tyranny. The story follows Urania Cabral, who returns to her native country after decades of exile and confronts the traumas of the past, as well as those responsible for the oppression and terror that marked her life and that of her family.
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".
