Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

#65533;Se escribe para llenar vac#65533;os, para tomarse desquites contra la realidad, contra las circunstancias.#65533;
La obra del escritor peruano se sustenta en numerosos acontecimientos personales que transcurrieron en su juventud. La dif#65533;cil relaci#65533;n con un padre duro y violento, el nacimiento de la vocaci#65533;n de escritor como oposici#65533;n a esa autoridad, los a#65533;os del colegio militar Leoncio Prado, la precoz vida bohemia, la precipitada boda con #65533;la t#65533;a Julia#65533; o la existencia real de #65533;La casa verde#65533;.
Adem#65533;s, y a modo de contrapeso, conocemos la corta pero intensa carrera pol#65533;tica del escritor. Esos tres a#65533;os que transcurrieron desde la improvisada movilizaci#65533;n popular de la Plaza de San Mart#65533;n en oposici#65533;n a la pol#65533;tica de Alan Garc#65533;a hasta la definitiva derrota ante Fujimori.
Un libro cargado de experiencias que se nos muestran desnudas y sinceras, sin recurrir a la ficci#65533;n, acompa#65533;adas tan s#65533;lo de la prosa hipn#65533;tica, reveladora y magistral de Mario Vargas Llosa.
