Mario Vargas Llosa wins the Nobel Prize
Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa won the 2010 Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday ``for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individuals resistance, revolt, and defeat,'' the Swedish Academy said.
A group of prominent Peruvian writers, led by Nobel Prize laureate Mario Vargas Llosa, signed an open letter against presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori and in support of nationalist Ollanta Humala.
