Vargas Llosa, a writer whose towering literary career included the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010 and whose role as a public intellectual and political commentator prompted a failed bid for the Peruvian presidency in 1990, has died at 89, his son Álvaro said Sunday.

“It is with deep sorrow that we announce that our father, Mario Vargas Llosa, passed away peacefully in Lima today, surrounded by his family,” read a letter signed by his children Álvaro, Gonzalo and Morgana and posted by Álvaro on X.

He is survived by his three children, all from his second marriage to Patricia Llosa: Alvaro Vargas Llosa, a writer; Gonzalo Vargas Llosa, who works for the United Nations; and Morgana Vargas Llosa, a photographer.
