β¦ Synopsis
One of Latin Americaβs most garlanded novelistsβand the recipient of the 2010 Nobel Prize in LiteratureβMario Vargas Llosa is also an acute and wide-ranging cultural critic and an acerbic political commentator. Touchstones collects Vargas Llosaβs brilliant readings of seminal twentieth-century novels, from Heart of Darkness to The Tin Drum; incisive essays on political and social thinkers; and contemporary pieces on 9/11 and the immediate aftermath of the war in Iraq.Fantastically intelligent, inspired, and surprising, Touchstones is a landmark collection of essays from one of the worldβs leading writers and intellectuals.
