Online Discussion on LIosa's idea

He is a Peruvian writer, politician, journalist, essayist and college professor. Vargas Llosa is one of Latin America's most significant novelists and essayists, and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a larger international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American boom In 2010. he won the Nobel prize in literature "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat.^"

^{His most recent novel is "The Neighborhood." He was interviewed for The World Post by Michael Skafidas, a journalist and professor of comparative literature at the City University of New York.}

Here are some ideas which I like the most from the interview.

1)"If you respect literature you must accept not only the very idealist, altruist vision of human beings but also the infernal vision of them."

2)Georges Bataille said that in human beings, there are angels and devils. Sometimes the angels are important, but for literature, devils are important too.Literature is a testimony of what we want to hide in the real word.

3)Sartre’s ideas — that words are acts and that you write things that could make a difference in history or solve problems.

4)words are the main tools through we can create the history or make a difference in history or we can solve the problems. Writing is a main idea through which we can create a different kind of society, which is more freer, more liberal. Those were very influential ideas for a young writer.

5) history and literature both are very closely from each other, they are different faces of a coin. The literary version of a historical part prevails over a historian's account. Literature is also close to living experiences.
