Alfredo Bryce Echenique's word

Abstract

Since the publication of his first novel, Un mundo para Julius (1970), Al-fredo  Bryce  Echenique  can  be  considered  an  oustanding  chronicler  of Peru’s  ruling  class,  exposing  its  many  social  and  moral  contradictions. While the author will return to this topic time and again, in other works, such as Tantas veces Pedro (1977) and La vida exagerada de Martín Romaña (1981),  Bryce  is  also  a  keen  explorar  of  Peruvian  identity  through  the experience  of  exile.    Orality  and  humor  are  at  the  core  of  his  unique style of writing to showcase the trials and tribulations of his many anti-heros.
