In 2005, he published his best-known novel, La hora azul, in which a wealthy lawyer searches for the woman his military father had taken prisoner during the armed struggle between the Peruvian government and Shining Path rebels. Mario Vargas Llosa called the book, which won the prestigious Herralde Prize in 2005, “a magnificent novel that lucidly and imaginatively describes the aftermath of 10 years of civil war and terrorism”, and J.M. Coetzee describes it as “a dark and disturbing novel”. La hora azul was followed by two spiritual successors, La pasajera and La viajera del viento, to form Redención, the acclaimed trilogy on the years of terrorism and political strife in Peru.
His novel Grandes Miradas was adapted into a movie (Mariposa Negra) by Francisco Lombardi in 2006. Cueto’s novel La Hora Azul/The Blue Hour which won the Herralde Prize in 2006. was published in English in 2012 (translated by Frank Wynne) and was shortlisted for the 2013 Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize and won the Valle Inclán Prize in 2013.
Several of Cueto’s works have been adapted for film, including La pasajera, which was the inspiration for Magallanes by director Salvador del Solar. Grandes miradas was adapted into Mariposa negra, a 2006 film by the awarded director Francisco Lombardi, and La hora azul served as the basis for the 2014 movie of the same name by Evelyne Pegot-Ogier.
