The Puzzling, Increasingly Rightward Turn of Mario Vargas Llosa

The great Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa is best known in the United States for his novels, his crucial contribution to the Latin American Boom beginning in the nineteen-sixties, and his 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature. Some Americans may have also heard, more recently, about the octogenarian’s romantic involvement, and eventual breakup, with the Filipina Spanish socialite Isabel Preysler, and his hospitalization this month for COVID. (He’s back at home now, and his son said that he is recovering well.) But in Latin America and Spain he is now perhaps more often in the news for his increasingly far-right political views.

A Newly Discovered Realm of Accomplishment for John Coltrane

lifestyle

Some rediscovered archival recordings by great musicians are more noteworthy for their news value than for their artistic significance. Others are treasures that extend a view of the artists’ achievements without transforming it; these are more meaningful for connoisseurs than for general listeners. But a newly recovered recording that was released last week, “Evenings at the Village Gate: John Coltrane with Eric Dolphy,” featuring performances taped at a leading New York jazz club in August, 1961, has a singular place in the canons of both headliners. It reveals an entirely new realm of accomplishment for Coltrane and Dolphy, and helps to redefine the very importance of hitherto unreleased recordings.
