You fucking wish you could read it, awesome short story about workers building a bridge in the middle of shithole. Very nicely shows nature of physical work, and anti-socrealist view of post-war Poland.

I'll have to check that one out. Last year, in DC, I saw Vargas Llosa at an award ceremony in which he gave a speech and answered a bunch of questions. He's one of my heroes. My favorite is aunt Julia.

I will check La tía Julia later. Vargas Llosa was the first author in spanish that caught my attention and I bought 5 books by him years ago. I'm halfway through La casa verde right now, the only one of the 5 i didn't read when I bought them.
Why do you consider him a hero?
