Republique des lettres: Vargas Llosa finalmente reconhecido

Um escritor que nunca teve medo de assumir responsabilidade pelas suas posições políticas, um homem não político que escrevia politicamente e que fazia política de modo algo literário (por isso perdeu). Talvez tivesse sido um grande presidente, mas não tenho certeza. Sabe manejar melhor a pluma do que ordens executivas.
Intelectuais não fazem bons líderes políticos, pelo menos os intelectuais sinceros, aqueles que não sabem mentir e que teriam de mentir enquanto políticos.
Foi melhor assim, portanto.
Paulo Roberto de Almeida

Nobel : la surprise Vargas Llosa
Le blog de Pierre Assuline
Le Monde, 7 octobre 2010

C’était celui qu’on n’attendait plus. Celui qui fut si souvent et si longtemps cité commé nobélisable qu’on le disait écarté. Celui dont on ne parlait plus guère à Stockholm en raison de sa réputation d’homme de droite, mal portée ces derniers temps dans les sphères littéraires. Celui qui a reçu tant de prix littéraires en Espagne et en Amérique latine et de doctorats honoris causa ces dix dernières années qu’on les imaginait dissuasifs vis à vis des académiciens suédois. Bref, le péruvien Mario Vargas LLosa, qui a obtenu la nationalité espagnole il y a quelques années, et dont on peut tout dire sauf qu’il n’a pas une oeuvre, forte, puissante, stylée : Conversation à la cathédrale, Pantaléon et les visiteuses, La tante Julia et le scribouillard, Tours et détours de la vilaine f…

Les membres du comité Nobel marquent par ce choix leur volonté. Ils n’aiment illerien tant que surprendre les pronostics. Jamais ils n’ont été aussi secrets que ces dernières années. Même les échotiers suédois, autrefois bien informés, n’obtiennent rien dans les jours précédant l’annonce. Selon leur communiqué, l’heureux élu l’est autant pour sa conception de la carte que pour sa notion du territoire :en effet, ils ont distingué son oeuvre “pour sa cartographie des structures du pouvoir et ses représentations incisives de la résistance, de la révolte et de la défaite de l’individu”.

Le discours de Vargas Llosa lui sera certainement l’occasion de rendre hommage à ses pairs, notamment les écrivains à qui il n’a cessé de payer sa dette, dans de nombreux articles et essais, notamment Juan Carlos Onetti ou encore le Victor Hugo des Misérables. On guettera avec intérêt la réaction de Gabriel Garcia Marquez, l’autre nobel latino-américain vivant, ancien ami devenu ennemi intime.

Quant aux parieurs, ils l’ont dans le baba. Vargas Llosa était donné à 25 contre 1…

O comunicado da Princeton University, onde Vargas Llosa está passando um semestre de ensino:

Princeton Distinguished Visitor Vargas Llosa wins Nobel in literature
by Staff of Program of Latin American Studies, Princeton University
Posted October 7, 2010; 07:47 a.m.

Acclaimed Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa, who is spending this semester as the 2010 Distinguished Visitor in Princeton University's Program in Latin American Studies, has been awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in literature. He also is a visiting lecturer in Princeton's Program in Creative Writing and the Lewis Center for the Arts.

Vargas Llosa was the only winner of this year's Nobel "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in announcing the award today.

A press conference with the Vargas Llosa is scheduled for 1 p.m. today at the Instituto Cervantes, 211 East 49th St. (between Second and Third Avenues), in New York City. TV crews must arrive by 11:30 a.m. to set up in the institute's auditorium. All media inquiries about the press conference should be e-mailed to Barbara Celis at the Instituto Cervantes.

At Princeton this fall, Vargas Llosa is teaching a course in Spanish on techniques of the novel. He also is teaching a class on Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges that examines the writer's prose, his techniques and the sources he used in his short stories. Vargas Llosa has had a relationship with the Program in Latin American Studies for several years and taught at the University in 1992. In addition, his literary papers -- including notebooks, correspondence, and manuscripts of novels and other writing -- are housed in Firestone Library.

"Everyone at Princeton is delighted to hear about Mario Vargas Llosa winning the Nobel Prize," said Paul Muldoon, chair of the Lewis Center for the Arts, who is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. "He's a visiting professor here just now, and our students have already had a great opportunity to work directly not only with a first-rate writer, of course, but a writer who's been seen to take on social issues directly and decisively. It's important that our students, and the rest of us, are reminded that literature is a real force in the world. It's no accident that Mario Vargas Llosa's next novel features Sir Roger Casement, the Irish activist who, in 1910 and 1911, reported on human rights abuses committed by rubber barons in Peru. I expect to learn more about Casement, rubber and Peru than I would from any conventional history or sociological treatise. That's the glory of what we term 'creative' writing, and the glory of a writer like Mario Vargas Llosa."

Rubén Gallo, a professor of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures and the director of the Program in Latin American Studies, said the Nobel was "a very well deserved honor" for Vargas Llosa. "For many years we were waiting for him to get the Nobel Prize because he's the most respected and accomplished novelist in Latin America. We are especially happy that this happened during his time at Princeton."

As an author, Vargas Llosa had an international breakthrough with the novel "La ciudad y los perros" (1963; "The Time of the Hero," 1966). This novel, which builds on his experiences in Leoncio Prado, a Peruvian military school, was considered controversial in his homeland. A thousand copies were burned publicly by officers from the school.

In 1975 he was elected to the Peruvian Academy. Vargas Llosa ran for the presidency of Peru in 1990, representing the FREDEMO alliance, but lost the election. In 1994 he was elected to the Spanish Academy, where he took his seat in 1996. In recent years he has lived in Barcelona, Madrid, Lima, Paris and London. He has lectured and taught at a number of universities in the United States, South America and Europe.

Vargas Llosa's well known works include "Conversación en la catedral" (1969; "Conversation in the Cathedral," 1975), "La guerra del fin del mundo" (1981; "The War of the End of the World," 1984) and "La fiesta del chivo" (2000; "The Feast of the Goat," 2001). He is also a noted journalist and essayist.
