«Los jefes, Los cachorros» is the short story collection by Mario Vargas Llosa published by Seix Barral in hardback (124 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together the stories of «Los jefes» and the short novel «Los cachorros», set in Lima in the 1950s. A group of middle-class teenagers from the Miraflores neighbourhood grows up in a patriarchal, macho society that forces them to hide their true identity; violence, tyranny and frustration mark their lives.
Edition from the Biblioteca El Mundo / 100 joyas del milenio collection, with a prologue by Roberto Bolaño.
For those who want to approach Vargas Llosa's narrative beginnings and recognise in his short work the keys he would later develop.
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".
