The 2010 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to Mario Vargas Llosa, a Peruvian-Spanish writer. The 74-year-old Vargas Llosa has written over 30 Plays, Essays, and Novels over the years. He is considered to be one of Latin America’s most significant novelists. He was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for his “cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of individual’s resistance, defeat, and revolt.”

Mario Vargas Llosa is known best for his novels which include “The Green House”, “Conversation in the Cathedral”, and “The Time of the Hero”, which were mainly written in the 1960′s.

Many people are not aware that Vargas Llosa isn’t known as just an author in his native Peru. He is also very active in politics where he ran for President of the country one time in 1990.

He is still writing novels today, and probably will continue to do so until the day he dies. When all is said and done, Vargas Llosa may go down in history as the best Latin American writer of all time.
