At age 14 he entered, by imposing father, in the Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado de Lima.

Vargas considers himself a "Conversation in the Cathedral" as his best work.
from communism to liberalism
The progressive alienation of Marxism led him to publicly deny of this ideology in the 1980's, finally embracing liberal thinking. Active political opposition to the nationalization of leftist President Alan Garcia, in 1990 he ran as a candidate for president of the republic in front of a center-right coalition. In the second round of voting was defeated against all odds by the populist Alberto Fujimori.

essayist, writer and critic
addition
literary fiction, English-Peruvian author has never neglected the exercise of the trial (such as "Challenges to Freedom", 1994), the journalistic genre (note his newspaper articles and his series of reports on Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein) and literary criticism. You have to review his work on the work of writers like Gabriel García Márquez ("García Márquez: Story of a Deicide", 1971), Gustave Flaubert ("The Perpetual Orgy: Flaubert and 'Madame Bovary', 1975), José María Arguedas ("Utopia archaic. José María Arguedas and the fictions of the Indian," 1996), Victor Hugo ("The Temptation of the Impossible", 2004) and, more recently, Juan Carlos Onetti ("The trip to the fictional", 2008). Then there are his forays into the world of theater, with pieces such as "Miss Tacna" (1981) or "The balcony Crazy" (1993).
One of the writers' favorite to become the Nobel Prize in this century, Vargas Llosa and treasured in your resume the prestigious Prince of Asturias Award for Letters (1986) and Cervantes (1994). Disciplined and meticulous writer
Onetti used to say that Vargas Llosa had relations "marriage" with literature unlike theirs, which the Uruguayan considered "adulterous." And it is that discipline in both reading and writing English-Peruvian author is proverbial: this is one of the keys to his prolific literary production.
Vargas Llosa's prose is strong, rich, immersive, effective, always open to innovation and formal experimentation. His plots are complex, meticulously maintained and superbly documented. A good example is the novel "The Feast of the Goat," based on the dictatorship of Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, the result of a vast amount of documentation, including phrases and turns of the Caribbean country's own collection, and sources on Dominican soil.
Much of its production literary essay is an attempt to unravel the situation in Latin America in general and Peru in particular. The question "When is fucked Peru?" Put in the mouth of a star of "Conversation in the Cathedral", highlights this desire. Magnificent portrait of the brutality and human stupidity, always from a critical and skeptical perspective, the writer of Arequipa in his work also makes concessions to the humor, irony and even eroticism. Narratives of the latter kind are "Praise of the Stepmother" (1988) and "The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto" (1997).
