...skillful. The Time of the Hero (Grove Press) by Mario Vargas Llosa, 28, a Paris-based Peruvian, is a social satire so harrowingly powerful that 1,000 copies were publicly burned in Lima. Vargas sets up the national military academy, which he attended, as a metaphor of his homeland, and in reciting what he sees as the horrors of life at school suggests what he thinks of life in Peru. More sophisticated is The Opoponax (Simon & Schuster) by France's lissome Monique Wittig, 31.

Greenstone is a story of two races-the Polynesian Maori, who came to New Zealand from their legendary oceanic island homeland in the 14th century, and the Scotch-English, who arrived in the 19th with the usual guns, Bibles and technological superiority. This, however, is no sad, simple story of savage innocence overwhelmed by progress. Miss Ashton-Warner grinds no stone axes against the bad white man. She does something a great deal more complicated and valuable; she sets in motion a sort of dance of language and imagery in which the childhood of the sophisticated race meets the stubborn...
