About the author

Mario Vargas Llosa was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010 "for his cartography of the structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat." Peru's foremost writer, he has been awarded the Cervantes Prize, the Spanish-speaking world's most distinguished literary honor, and the Jerusalem Prize. His many works include The Feast of the Goat, The Bad Girl, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, The War of the End of the World, and The Storyteller. He lives in London.

Edith Grossman has translated the works of the Nobel laureates Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, among others. One of the most important translators of Latin American fiction, her version of Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote, is considered to be the finest translation of the Spanish masterpiece in the English language.
