«Los cachorros» is the short story by Mario Vargas Llosa published by Salvat in hardback in Spanish.
The story follows a group of boys from Lima's high society as they move from childhood to adulthood; one of them is marked by an accident at school. The prose, swift and musical, alternates perspectives and fuses dialogue without punctuation marks, creating an immersive narrative. It is an ironic and nostalgic look at the cost of being different and the passage of time.
Originally published in 1967, this edition is from 1973. It includes 35 photographs by Xavier Miserachs and a foreword by Esther Tusquets.
Aimed at readers of Latin American fiction interested in Vargas Llosa's early period.
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".
