Los jefes (1959) is a selection of short stories of varying quality that is worth reading, mainly to find the origins of Vargas Llosa as one of the great novelists of the second half of the last century.
Los cachorros (1967) is a short novel or novella written at the peak of his powers, when the author was already a proven master of the genre. It works almost as a capsule containing many of the stylistic techniques he became famous for, but taking them to a level all of its own. It is another fine example of his craft.
