About
A series of conversations held at Princeton University between the Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa and Rubén Gallo.
“Conversation at Princeton” records these exhilarating discussions and captures the three complementary perspectives that converged in the classroom: that of Vargas Llosa, who reveals the creative process behind his novels; that of Rubén Gallo, who analyzes the different meanings the works took on after their publication; and that of the students, whose reflections and questions give voice to the responses of millions of Vargas Llosa's readers.
During these talks, Vargas Llosa not only speaks with intelligence and lucidity about the craft of writing, but also offers an absorbing, inquisitive analysis of today's political and cultural landscape. “Conversation at Princeton” is a singular opportunity to attend a unique master class on literature and society taught by one of our greatest writers and thinkers.

"The Nobel laureate reveals a sharp intellect that seems most comfortable in the liminal spaces between the contrasting environments of fiction and journalism, Europe and South America, politics and poetics."
Brendan Driscoll, Booklist
"A fascinating window, not only into Vargas Llosa's biography and break with Marxism, but also into the way in which literary fiction, given its moral, emotional, and psychological insights, can bring more truth to history than any mere recital of the facts."
David Mehegan, Arts Fuse
