Review
" Over the decades, Williams has enjoyed a flourishing relationship with his subject, and that is reflected in details he offers about Vargas Llosa's private persona. Williams's riveting portrait of a remarkable and prolific savant immersed in his intellectual interests and a citizen of the world is not to be missed. Essential." (Choice)
"An excellent study that synthesizes well the major points of the Peruvian writer’s career and the controversies it has provoked." (David William Foster, Regents’ Professor of Spanish and Women and Gender Studies, Arizona State University)
