The Storyteller by Mario Vargos Llosa


A Peruvian in Florence chances about a photo-exhibition in which he spots an old friend. Or is it? Has his friend become the mythical storyteller of a lost tribe or is it just a case of mistaken identity.

More magic realism from Senor Llosa but for me this story is just a bit too disjointed unfortunately. I am going to reread The War of the End of the World and this will not put me off though as this is a great classic.
