STORYLINE:
Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Monday met with the family of author Mario Vargas Llosa following his death on Sunday.
The Nobel literature laureate and a giant of Latin American letters died at the age of 89.
His children Álvaro, Gonzalo and Morgana posted a letter announcing his death, saying that his remains will be cremated and that there won’t be any public ceremony.
Speaking in Lima on Monday, Álvaro Vargas Llosa said "Peru has lost one of its best men and we will miss him infinitely. We have more than the consolation of him being the extraordinary father he was, but the beautiful legacy he has left to Peru and to the world."
Mario Vargas Llosa was a prolific author and essayist with such celebrated novels as “The Time of the Hero” (La Ciudad y los Perros) and “Feast of the Goat,” and won myriad prizes.
The Nobel committee said it was awarding him in 2010 "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual’s resistance, revolt, and defeat."
