Vargas Llosa appears a month and one half after 9/11 and speaks against fanaticism and terrorism. He spokes about Perus struggle against terrorist groups and about the U.S. action in Afghanistan against the Taliban. He has come however to speak about a new book of his based on the life the dictator Trujillo. He speaks of the great role Dictatorship has had in Latin America and his hope for a process of democratization there. He also speaks about his own writing and his involvement in the political and cultural realms. The interview is informative but Vargas Llosa speaks English in a quite pained and difficult way. He also despite being a writer of considerable reputation does not converse easily, or show great humor or wit.
Therefore an informative interview but not an especially entertaining one.
