MARTIN, Gerald. Mario Vargas Llosa: knight-errant of the liberal imagination. Argumentos (Méx.) [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.69, pp.147-166. ISSN 0187-5795.

His study focuses on two novels, The City and the dogs, and Conversation in The Cathedral, considered the most important works of the Peruvian novelist. In this framework it combines literary, political and biographical elements.
