Mario Vargas Llosa’s vast output of narrative fiction is the main focus in theresearch on his works. Both easterners and westerners study Structural Realism of hiswritings in two sections—on the one hand, many new literary means crossingspatial and temporal planes form his literary complexity aesthetics and writing stylesuccessfully; on the other hand, he is concerned with the theme of corruption and itseffect on individuals and communities which give realistic style to his woks. Nowadays,roles, structures, techniques,styles and creation origins are five main viewpoints inworks research, but in fact he has been among postmodernists for his revolution anddeconstruction, so we also can do the research from another three perspectives ofPost-colonialism, Decentering and Anti-Biography.Firstly, the Post-colonialism perspective. Postmodernism research concentrates onIdentity and Post-colonial Words when it is about majority writers, but these can notgive an exact conclusion to him and his writings because he loves Peru, his root, at thesame time hates and leaves from her; he is from but against the authoritarian class; he isfighting against Colonialism and Nationalism although he accept Europeanization withpost-colonial words.Secondly, the Decentering perspective. In the1960s, politics and literary find a knotduring the decentering process. Accompanied by the collapse of a series of Modernism’sidentities, centers or groups of relationship between two poles, Centering is beingdestructed as the origin of counters or conflicts, for example, Western and Eastern,male and female, the whites and the black, self and other, heterosexual and homosexual,etc. Vargas Llosa’s works show characters, diversity, heterogeneity instead of dualityand exclusive.Lastly, the Anti-Biography perspective. In the Post-modern literature, personalfeeling or thoughts merged into historical materials to inextricably commingle the factwith fiction which mix up, compound and contain history. The efforts aim atquestioning, even correcting completely anti-traditionalism, over-purifying exploreabout spirit and Nihilism in Modernism. It isn’t necessary to clarify which category thebiographical literature is (the historical category or literary category?) when historybecomes the topic center of novels in this period. Vargas Llosa,whose realistic character is well-known, always try to use new text structures, so does he in combining fictionsand history or biography that appear frequently in both post-modern works and VargasLlosa’s latest writings.
