The most recent novel by the Nobel Prize winner, Mario Vargas Llosa, ‘I dedicate my silence to him’, is the story of a man who dreamed of a country united by music and went crazy wanting to write a perfect book that would tell it.
Vargas Llosa assures that he will continue writing until the last day of his life: “I hope I have the strength to continue doing it.” “That would be my ideal: to die in the middle of a word that was left unfinished…” he says.
The book, a story set in the author’s native Peru, will be his last novel because writing one takes him three or four years. “And, although I think I’m a Methuselah, I don’t aspire to live that long. So I have finished this story, which I am very fond of, but I will continue writing (now I am working on an essay about Sartre, who had a lot of influence on my youth) until the last day of my life,” says the author.
“I have reached my 87th birthday very calmly and working to the point of exhaustion. It seems to me that I am going to fulfill that of staying with a pen in my hand,” says the Peruvian writer and adds that “I would like it to raise the enthusiasm of the Peruvians who read it. Let them discover that Peru, that beloved country, was great and will be great again if one day we get down to it.”

In the novel, Toño Azpilcueta spends his days between his work at a school, his family and his great passion, Creole music, which he has been researching since his youth. One day, a call changes his life. An invitation to go listen to an unknown guitarist, Lalo Molfino, a character that no one knows much about, but of great talent, seems to confirm all of his intuitions: the deep love he feels for Peruvian waltzes, marineras, polkas and huainos; He has a reason beyond the pleasure of listening to them (or dancing to them).
Perhaps what happens is that Creole music is, in reality, not only a hallmark of an entire country and an expression of that very Peruvian attitude of huachafería, but something much more important: an element capable of provoking a social revolution. , to break down prejudices and racial barriers to unite the entire country in a fraternal and mestizo embrace. In a country fractured and ravaged by the violence of the Shining Path, music could be what reminds everyone who makes up society that, above anything else, they are brothers.
