Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa has moved to Berlin to continue research for his novel on the last months of Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, assassinated in 1961. He ruled this country from 1930 to 1961. Vargas Llosa chose Trujillo for the novel because he feels this is a "unique case in Latin America." Vargas Llosa says he is fascinated by the totalitarian regime that had an almost absolute control of the lives, psyche and subsconscious of the Dominican population.
