A Mass for Julia

Filed under: General — m759 @ 1:32 am

"I know then that the story is there, buried in what I call
my magma. It’s absolute chaos but the novel is in there,
lost in a mass of dead elements, superfluous scenes
that will disappear or scenes that are repeated several
times from different perspectives, with different characters.
It’s very chaotic and makes sense only to me. But the story
is born under there."

— Mario Vargas Llosa, interviewed in The Paris Review ,
Issue 116, Fall 1990

Vargas Llosa is the author of "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter."
