    Literary feud of 30 years.

    Rodrigo Moya, a close friend of García Marquez, took the black-and-white pictures in 1976 but has kept them secret until this week.

  • Awarding the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to jailed activist Liu Xiaobo was an honor to be shared by all Chinese dissidents, this year’s Nobel literature laureate Mario Vargas Llosa said Friday.
    “I believe that this is a tribute to all Chinese dissidents and all Chinese who want, not just economic, but also political growth and progress in China,” Vargas Llosa told Peruvian television Frecuencia Latina from New York.
