  23. Critic's Notebook: Mario Vargas Llosa's work and life push boundaries

    The selection Thursday morning of Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa as winner of the 2010 Nobel Prize for literature raises a familiar question: Why him? Why now? On the one hand, Vargas Llosa is without question a writer of stature, a central figure — along with his one-time friend and fellow Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez — in the Latin American "boom" generation of the 1960s and 1970s, the author of such major novels as "The Time of the Hero," "The Green House" and "Conversation in the Cathedral." That alone distinguishes him from the last two recipients of the prize, Jean-Marie Gustave le Clézio and Herta Mueller, neither of whom was what anyone would call a household name.
