Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa
On Wednesday the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Mario Vargas Llosa, a novelist, journalist and essayist from Peru for, as stated in the Nobel Committee's press release, ``his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat.''
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.
