In the case of the novel Conversacion en La Catedral by Mario Vargas Llosa (1969), it is also one of the most famous startup phases of Latin American literature. The following discussion presents the joint analysis of three levels of meaning: 1. ideational semantic, 2. stylistic, and 3. generic-discursive novel for this phase. Adapted from the source document
