Uchuraccay and the Peru profundo of Mario Vargas Llosa
This is a true story that nobody believed when it became public. What happened there — and what was said about what happened there — constitutes an emblematic event for the Peruvian nation in the 1980s, a time of transition toward political violence. It is an analysis of how people communicate during difficult times in which confusion and incomprehension reign. Myths are created, half-truths spread, propaganda and passionate, intransigent positions take hold. These are times when communications become heated.
