Art of Novel Writing: Mario Vargas Llosa’s Ideas

Keywords

novel, Mario Vargas Llosa, Umer Memon, fiction writing

Abstract

Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa is one of the most eminent literary figures of Latin America from recent past. With eighteen novels to his credit, he has written extensively on other genres (such as drama and short story) as well as on literary criticism. His expertise in both fiction and criticism makes his thoughts on the art of novel writing very important. He has explained modern techniques of a good novel in his book Cartas a un joven novelista, first published in Spanish language. It was later translated into English by Natasha Wimmer and into Urdu by Umer Memon. This article focuses on the techniques and factors involved in novel writing, as described by Llosa. These include style, the narrator and narrative space, time, levels of reality, shifts and qualitative leaps, Chinese boxes, the hidden fact, and communicating vessels. His mature critical ideas on the art of novel give a gist of his personal creative experiences.
