NOTES
"Originally published in Spanish in 2023 by Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, Spain, as Le dedico mi silencio"--Title page verso
"In his final novel, the Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa returns to his native Peru"-- Provided by publisher
In Peru, a struggling writer becomes obsessed with documenting the life of an elusive guitarist whom he believes embodies the spirit of the vals, a Creole musical tradition. Hoping that a biography of the musician and a celebration of the culture surrounding the music might reveal Peru's national soul and foster social unity, the writer confronts the tensions between artistic idealism and a society marked by political violence
