University of Virginia A FASCINATION FOR STORIES: THE CALL TO COMMUNITY AND CONVERSION IN MARIO VARGAS LLOSA'S THE STORYTELLER [Elektronische Daten] [Jennifer L. Geddes] In Mario Vargas Llosa's The Storyteller, each of the novel's three storytellers-Saù, the narrator and Vargas Llosa-undergoes a conversion from fascinated hearer of stories to (un)masked teller of tales. In taking on the mask of storyteller, the individual finds himself facing a community of listeners who know how to read behind that mask. The transformative dialogue between memory and invention out of which stories emerge is replicated by the storyteller and stories emerge. The novel's reader is called to enter into this transformative dialogue by (un)masking herself through telling her own stories. © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence Literature and Theology Oxford University Press 10/4(1996-12), 370-377 0269-1205 10:4<370 1996 10 litthe https://doi.org/10.1093/litthe/10.4.370 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/litthe/10.4.370 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Geddes Jennifer L.
