Gabo had already sold thousands of copies of \u003cem\u003eOne Hundred Years of Solitude\u003c\/em\u003e . Vargas Llosa had just won the Rómulo Gallegos Prize for \u003cem\u003eThe Green House\u003c\/em\u003e . Today, they are considered two of the greatest exponents of Spanish-language literature in the world, but at the time, they were just beginning their careers as novelists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The meeting was recorded and, soon after, the University of Lima published a transcript of the conversation, entitled \u003cem\u003eLa novela latinoamericana\u003c\/em\u003e , which was quickly forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwo Solitudes: A Dialogue on the Novel in Latin America\u003c\/em\u003e is the meeting of two great writers, two literary geniuses, two different perspectives on literature, two somewhat contradictory temperaments.
