ai generated text

Mario Vargas Llosa published the novel "Harsh Times" in 2019, which tells the turbulent history of Guatemala in the mid-1950s. The book explores the military coup that overthrew the government of Jacobo Árbenz in 1954, and features a mix of real and fictional characters. The novel's title, "Tiempos recios", refers to a phrase used by Saint Teresa of Jesus to describe her own difficult times, and is meant to draw a parallel between Teresa's era and Guatemala's violent past. The book won the Francisco Umbral Book of the Year Award 2019.learn more on wikipedia
