In this paper we analyze one of the key elements in Mario Vargas Llosa’s fiction (the exploration of love and sex) through the Englishlanguage translations of his novels Pantaleón y las visitadoras (1973), La tía Julia y el escribidor (1977), Elogio de la madrastra (1988) and Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto (1997). Although love plays a fundamental role in all of Vargas Llosa’s works, in these four novels there is an explicit creative effort around human sexuality and important linguistic and rhetorical elaboration of the language of love and sex. Translating sex-related language is a highly sensitive area, the site where the social interdictions and the translator’s own ethics meetDownloads
