About the Book

Una clase magistral sobre la actualidad y el oficio de novelista por el Premio Nobel de Literatura Mario Vargas Llosa.

Universidad de Princeton, Nueva Jersey, 2015. Durante un semestre, Mario Vargas Llosa impartió junto a Rubén Gallo un curso sobre literatura y política. Ambos conversaron con los alumnos sobre teoría de la novela, y sobre la relación del periodismo y la política con la literatura, a través de cinco obras del autor: Conversación en La Catedral, Historia de Mayta, ¿Quién mató a Palomino Molero?, El pez en el agua y La Fiesta del Chivo.

En estas conversaciones, el Nobel, con su brillantez acostumbrada, habla del oficio de escritor y de los retos a los que se enfrenta en la construcción de sus novelas, pero también ofrece un análisis inteligente de la actualidad. Es especialmente conmovedora la charla con Philippe Lançon, periodista del Charlie Hebdo que sobrevivió al atentado islamista perpetrado ese mismo año.
Tres perspectivas complementarias confluyen en este libro: la del autor, que desvela el proceso creativo de sus novelas; la de Rubén Gallo, que analiza las distintas significaciones que las obras de Vargas Llosa cobran en el momento de su difusión, y la de los alumnos, que con sus reflexiones y preguntas dan voz a los millones de lectores de Vargas Llosa.

Conversación en Princeton es una oportunidad sin igual para asistir a un curso magistral sobre literatura y realidad impartido por uno de los escritores más reconocidos y valorados en todo el mundo.

Reseñas:
«Con la publicación de este libro, podemos convertirnos en privilegiados alumnos del Premio Nobel, aprender y disfrutar de sus agudos comentarios y conocer mucho mejor el proceso creativo de uno de los grandes escritores de hoy.»
Adrián Sanmartín, El Imparcial

«En esta ocasión el escritor Mario Vargas Llosa nos ha sorprendido con un nuevo libro, que aunque no es una novela, trata de lo que mejor practica: la oralidad literaria y creativa, al estilo Borges, y desde las múltiples perspectivas que le otorgan su oficio de intelectual y de observador de la realidad más inmediata, que tan fielmente refleja en sus artículos periodísticos, que son algo así como ensayos cortos a lo Montaigne.»
José Manuel Martínez Cano, La tribuna de Albacete

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Master Class about current events and the craft of a novelist by Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa.

During a semester in 2015 Vargas Llosa taught a course at Princeton University. In it he spoke with the students about literature and current affairs. Along with the students and with Rubén Gallo, director of Princeton's Latin American Studies Program, Vargas Llosa performed an in-depth analysis of five of his works.

This book gathers these conversations in which the Nobel Prize winner, with his habitual wisdom and brilliance, speaks of the craft of the writer and about challenges that he faces when in the process of creating his novels. But it also offers an analysis of current times. What is especially touching is the conversation with Philippe Lançon, a Charlie Hebdo journalist who survived the Islamist attack perpetrated against the satirical paper in 2015.

Everything that a reader may, at any point, have wanted to ask the Peruvian Nobel Prize winner is in this book. An unparalleled opportunity to experience a master class on literature and reality taught by one of the most recognized and valued writers in the world.

Ruben Gallo is a Professor in Language, Literature, and Civilization of Spain at Princeton University. He specializes in modern and contemporary Spanish America and has directed Princeton's Latin American Studies Program since 2008. Among other works he has published Mexican Heterodoxies: A Conversed Anthology (2006), The Arts of the City: Essays on the Capital's Visual Culture (2010), and Proust's Latin Americans (2014).
