THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE"A wildly enjoyable book; the 85-year-old Vargas Llosa is as sharp and mordantly funny as ever." Financial TimesGuatemala,1954. A CIA-supported military coup topples the government. Behind this violent act is a lie passed off as truth,which forever changed the development of Latin America: that those in power encouraged the spread of Soviet communism in the Americas. Mario Vargas Llosa has written a drama on a world stage,in which some persecutors end up as victims of the very plot they helped construct. Ironic and sensual,provocative and redemptive,Harsh Times is a story of international conspiracies and conflicting interests in the time of the Cold War,the echoes of which are still felt today.
