Overview of Reputations Book

A taut new novel by the award-winning author of The Sound of Things Falling one of the most original voices of Latin American literature , Mario Vargas Llosa 'An affecting, carefully paced work of psychological realism Times Literary Supplement As Colombia s famed political cartoonist, Javier Mallarino, strolls through downtown Bogot in the hours before a public celebration of his career in the grand Teatro Col n, he contemplates the start of his professional life and how he set down his oils and took up a pen to begin drawing caricatures for a living. But the celebration has far-reaching consequences: as he leaves the theatre a figure from his past, now a young woman, emerges from the crowd outside and forces Mallarino to confront an incident that took place in his home half a lifetime ago, calling into question his reputation and the value of his life s work.
