LIVING IN PERU /
Since Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa was chosen to open Argentina's annual book fair, criticism by intellectuals of President Cristina Fernandez for picking him has been growing.
Even Cristina's own cabinet chief Anibal Fernandez doesn't like the choice.
In a recent radio interview, Fernandez called the Peruvian novelist a "reactionary right-winger," and said "Vargas Llosa is an enemy of popular governments, particularly that of Argentina, which he has insulted millions of times gratuitously and for no reason."
