Intertwined stories,
This complex novel evolves during many years, through the memories and experiences of the characters, within the characteristic arbitrary timing of Vargas Llosa: flashbacks, voices from different ages speaking simultaneously, sudden jumps in time. The action takes place in two basic locations: the high and dry city of Piura, and the Amazonic region of Peru. There are several stories which interact and cross at several points: Fushia, the smuggler who dominates the Indians, whose story is told during his trip with the old Aquilino, down a river; the love story of Lalita and Nieves the soldier; the soldiers of Santa María of Nieva; Sargent Lituma and the Woman from the Jungle; Don Anselmo, the mythical founder of Piura’s nightlife, and thereafter a harp-player at brothels; The Unconquerables and the nuns from the convent.
The novel is an epic of life in Peru, a solid and vast book. Characters from the past and the present speak their minds and tell their deeds. The tone is varied, from the sordid to the epic, from city to jungle. A great novel by an accomplished author, in which the different stories slowly converge to paint a broad landscape. In a less dark way, from time to time Faulkner seems to be in the background, Latinamericanized.

|Historia de un prostíbulo y de la deshumanización,
En “La Casa Verde” Mario Vargas Llosa va dando muestras de su progreso a un estilo totalitario que quedaría demostrado finalmente en “La Guerra del Fin del Mundo”. De allí en adelante el totalitarismo aparecería de manera desenfadada en todas las novelas que ha escrito hasta el momento.
Sería fácil pensar que el nombre de la novela debería otorgarle el tema central a un personaje, a un lugar o simplemente a un hecho cualquiera. Sin embargo, “La Casa Verde” es una excepción porque son varias historias contadas al mismo tiempo sin un tema central, excepto que el Perú es el lugar común en donde se desarrollan. Lo maravilloso es que con una habilidad innata, MVLL nos pinta al Perú de una manera integral, recorriendo costa, sierra y selva (las tres regiones naturales que presenta este país) a través de tres historias que se desenvuelven paralelamente y sin una relación aparente al inicio pero cuyo desenlase las unificaría. El totalitarismo de MVLL podría parecernos atrevido pero nos demuestra una vez más que esa palabra no existe para este escritor peruano.
Por un lado Fushia, mientras escapaba por el Río Amazonas, narra a Aquilino los embrollos en los cuales se encuentra involucrado tras haber intentado estafar a otro estafador más poderoso que él. El motivo sería el robo de caucho, cuya explotación se encontraba en boga en el departamento selvático de Iquitos en ese momento.
Por otro lado, Don Anselmo construye La Casa Verde, llamada así por el color del cual fue pintada su fachada, y se convertiría en el primer prostíbulo que rebolotaría la pasiva vida de Piura (una ciudad al norte de Perú). Con el transcurrir del tiempo y a pesar del progreso favorable del negocio, Don Anselmo seguiría sintiéndose solitario. Pero su soledad se vería aplacada al enamorarse; el único inconveniente, para la sociedad, era que Don Anselmo le triplicaba en edad y además ella era invidente. Debido a esto decide ocultar su relación que saldría a la luz de manera trágica cuando los pobladores deciden incendiar aquel antro de perdición sin saber que en ella habitaba la niña amada de Don Anselmo y que además estaba embarazada. El final de la historia es excepcional ya que une, como lo dije anteriormente, las tres historias alrededor de una mesa de un restaurant barato, simbolizando la pobreza humana, la cual suele actuar sin pensar en las consecuencias que podría conllevar sus actitudes cucufatas y salvajes.
Considero a esta novela como una de las mejores de la producción literaria de MVLL y se la recomiendo sólo a los que gustan de la verdadera literatura, los demás desistirán en las primeras páginas.

|Llosa the obscure,
Murder In The TetonsMario Vargas Llosa writes like some auteurs make black and white films. Linear time is not important and the jump cut is used profusely, one brief scene from the past or future inserted in the middle of a contemporaneous scene. At first it is very confusing but after a while one must simply go with the flow and let the novel’s projector run until the characters are sorted out and their stories told.
