The 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature goes to...Mario Vargas Llosa!
Whoda thunk it?!

I had enjoyed his "The Feast of the Goat" and especially "Conversation in the Cathedral", and I've been reading "Death in the Andes" lately, and now he's (finally) received his well-deserved prize.

The best part of it is that the Academy has at last come to give the Prize to someone I know! [Or perhaps I should've twisted that around?]
