Talent

I’m reading Vargas Llosa’s autobiography, and the part where he describes his presidential campaign platform from back in 1990 is absolutely fascinating. I mean, it’s a failed presidential bid from a quarter of a century ago in Peru, who can possibly care? 😪 💤💤💤 But Vargas Llosa is so damn talented that it reads like a mystery novel.

He is the kind of writer that I don’t even care what he says and on what subject because the writing itself is so good. I’ve been out of active Spanish usage for a year (I read but there’s nobody to talk to) and Vargas Llosa helps me stay emotionally attached to the language.

A truly great writer. 😍😍😍
