Interesting man. I’m not sure I can handle the brutality or I would read it. Is there anything else by Vargas Llosa you would suggest?

Unfortunately, I've never read anything else by Vargas Llosa! I did just finish the latest novel by Tan Twan Eng, The House of Doors, and I can recommend that. I will run a review of it in three or four weeks..

Thanks for reposting this review. Vargas Llosa seems to have been quite admirable in many ways, but I have not read any of his works. Where is a good place to start?

The Dream of the Celt is the only one of his works that I have read. I think it's probably a good place to start.
