Online Discussion :Ideas on Mario Vargas Liosa




Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist, was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 2010. His most recent novel is "The Neighborhood." He was interviewed for The World Post by Michael Skafidas, a journalist and professor of comparative literature at the City University of New York.
In this interview Llosa shared many ideas related to literary work in which I liked three ideas given by Llosa.
1) Idea on Feminism
2) Ideas and Image
  3) Novelist is the Historian

 I personally liked the view of Llosa on feminism in which he said that feminism has become very sectarian and dogmatic kind who always stand for stupid equality. llosa also gave an example of feminists attacked  Nabokov's "Lolita" the best novel of 20th century but feminists attacked about male characters. This kind of stupidity destroy the charm of literature. I liked the idea about good and evil in literature because literature do not perfect without evil character.

 Second is the image and ideas. In this points Llosa said that today's world young generation give the importance to image more than ideas. It is very harmful to youth that they think  images are creative for modern time but they do not think that this century is the age of Photoshop and post truth. 

Third one is 'Novelists is the historian of the unrecorded'.  Given sentence is very true through literature you get idea about social, political and religious background the ages. Literature record dark side of country, person etc.  Here Llosa gives an example of Leo Tolstoy's greatest Novel "War and Peace" which is related to the Russian history and many writers used to wrote about historical aspect
