... literature gives readers a kind of third eye and enables them to see what is lacking in the real world. It sews the seed of a revolutionary attitude and great novels give us an appetite for the impossible. Llosa's writing has always been experimental, as he explores different ways of telling a story, of depicting the passage of time, and of combining fact and fiction.
