Peru Consecrates Its Historical Memory
"This really is excellent news," said writer Mario Vargas Llosa last Friday at his home when his wife handed him a message informing him from Lima that the future Museo de la Memoria of Peru already had a site in the capital: the central Campo de Marte. Vargas Llosa, as president of the commission appointed by the Government of Alan García to carry out the project, had been anxious for some time about the possibility that finding land for the museum would take too long. "We want construction to be at an irreversible point before the end of the legislature [two years]. In Latin America you never know what will happen next." Published on July 27, 2009.
