Reviews for Storyteller
Against these times of post-modern relativism, Vargas Llosa embodies the need for a master narative, a single view, a whole encompassing truth. But in . . . this book, Braulio Munoz, with Kant and Derrida by his side, looks the man in the eye and the rest is literature—which amounts to a lively, even fascinating reading.
