Way to Paradise

"This is a formidable, learned novel....It's also a replete and lively story, whose assured construction and pacing very gradually reveal...crucial life patterns....It's Gauguin's conflicted odyssey that stimulates Vargas Llosa's imagination most powerfully. But there isn't a page of this magnificently imagined and orchestrated story that does not vibrate with the energy and mystery of felt, and fully comprehended, life. It's hard to believe, but Vargas Llosa just keeps getting better.Vargas Llosa, Mario is the author of 'Way to Paradise', published 2003 under ISBN 9780374228033 and ISBN 0374228035.
