THE STORYTELLER by Mario Vargas Llosa

Ellen Reviews: Translation of: Hablador. A Peruvian writer, overcome with the feeling that he knows the man in a photograph of a tribal storyteller deep in the jungles of the Amazon, imagines how his old school friend, Saul Zuratas, made the transformation from a modern man to a central member of the Machiguenga tribe.

Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian writer and author of novels including “The Time of the Hero,” “The Green House” and “Conversation in the Cathedral,” won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday. In its citation, the Swedish Academy hailed Mr. Vargas Llosa, 74, “for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual’s resistance, revolt and defeat.”
