Peru's Mario Vargas Llosa wins 2010 Nobel literature prize

Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa, one of the most acclaimed writers in the Spanish-speaking world, won the 2010 Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday.

The Swedish Academy said it honoured the 74-year-old author “for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt and defeat.”
