4.0 out of 5 stars
One Great Novelist Reads Another,
This review is from: The Temptation of the Impossible: Victor Hugo and "Les Misérables" (Hardcover)
If you've just read Les Miserables, then read this book immediately, while Hugo's vast masterpiece is still resonating in your mind. Mario Vargas Llosa talks about everything you hope he'll talk about: each important character, the themes, the digressions, the religiosity, the sewers, and most of all, Hugo's monumental ambition to produce a work that contains the world (his temptation to do the impossible). Once you've finished, you'll want to read more Mario Vargas Llosa, if not more Hugo.
