Conversation in the Cathedral
Mario Vargas Llosa
1975
Conversation in The Cathedral is a 1969 novel by Spanish-Peruvian writer and essayist Mario Vargas Llosa, translated by Gregory Rabassa. 
...
Conversation In The Cathedral is considered to be one of Mario Vargas Llosa's major works that along with The Time of the Hero and The Green House established him as one of the leading authors in the Latin American Boom.

Reviewing the English translation in the New York Times, critic Suzanne Jill Levine described the novel as "a meticulous panorama of the Peru of the late 1940's and early 1950's, when General Odria's dictatorship was like a cancer that ate into the very marrow of Peruvian society", but added that "to consider this novel solely in terms of its subject would be a sad error." "[Vargas Llosa's writing] technique is so complex (...) [but it] would be a pity if the enormous but not insurmountable difficulties of reading this massive novel prevent readers from becoming acquainted with a book that reveals, as few others have, some of the ugly complexities of the real Latin America."
