Mario Vargas Llosa

18:00 - 19:00, Thu, 07 Jun '12 Export as iCalendar

Location: Arts Centre Theatre - booking required

In conversation with Alonso Cueto, Efraín Kristal and Maria Luddy (supported by the Institute of Advanced Study)

Mario Vargas Llosa is one of the world's greatest contemporary novelists, a playwright of distinction and a leading public intellectual. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010.

He will be discussing his latest novel, The Dream of the Celt (Faber, June 2012), which deals with key moments in the life of the Anglo-Irish diplomat turned Irish nationalist, Roger Casement - his denunciation of human rights abuses in the Congo and in the Peruvian Amazon, participation in the Easter Rising and his arrest, prosecution, and conviction for treason by the British in 1916. Vargas Llosa will also consider his work in a broader context by exploring issues raised in The Cambridge Companion to Mario Vargas Llosa, edited by Efraín Kristal and John King. The event will be chaired by John King and followed by a book signing.
