I am not latina, but I can feel a certain kind of pride while hearing him...

My admiration for Vargas Llosa, but he should have made his speech in Spanish. Es su idioma natal, hubiera sonado más auténtico.

[@angusorvid8840]

As a native English speaker who also speaks some passable Spanish, I couldn't agree more. One reason I enjoy reading Vargas Llosa, Garcia Marquez, Cortazar, Borges, and other writers from the Spanish speaking world is that there is something that carries through, even in translation, that is firmply rooted in Spanish, in a Latin way of writing. It comes from a different place.

His end note is on how life turned into literature and vice versa: his fantasy into reality, in a way a laudable achievement, rendering him satiated; yet it's abit laughable for such vanities as these aggrandizements.
