After being completely starstruck by [b:The War of the End of the World|3265193|The War of the End of the World|Mario Vargas Llosa|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1316727251s/3265193.jpg|3300507], I was pleasantly surprised by winning this, and hoped to learn more about the author.
The range of the essays is wide, from Hemingway, Faulkner and Joyce, to meeting Buñuel and discussing the decline of Che's legacy, to having a son convert to Rastafarianism. Likewise, the mood of these varies, from introspection to mirth. All of these are written wonderfully, and the author has a charming and witty voice.
Some of the essays are a bit out of reach for the lay person, but the majority are still tasty treats. Worth picking up if you are already a fan of the author, and want to learn more about him. (
