A review by schnauzermum
Conversation in the Cathedral by Gregory Rabassa, Mario Vargas Llosa

4.0

A challenging, but rewarding read. The conversation of the title takes place one night in the bar La Catedral between a young journalist and his father’s former chauffeur. The politics of Peru in the 1950s is compellingly described in the fragmented narrative. I felt it was over-long, and I probably need to read it again some time.
