The episode also includes clips of other events with Vargas Llosa at the Library, including his interview with writer and journalist Marie Arana during the Library of Congress’ Living Legend Award ceremony in April, 2016. The Archive of Hispanic Literature on Tape (AHLOT) is an audio archive of more than 750 recordings of poets and prose writers from the Luso-Hispanic world reading from their works. Part of the archive is now available for online streaming.
