''The Green House'' ('''''La casa verde''''') is a 1966 Novel by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa . The novel is considered a central work for the new Spanish American novel style that arose in the 1960s, and has been much commented on by literary scholars. It features a convoluted, puzzle-like narrative style that is reminiscent of William Faulkner and Franz Kafka . Vargas Llosa presents several narrative lines, and moves back and forth between them by means of a difficult and non-chronological narrative logic. The reader must piece together these lines in order to construct the story. The novel finally serves as a critique of Peruvian society. |
