She met him through the Cuban writer Guillermo Cabrera Infante, who introduced them in London in 1970 when Benssoussan was translating his play Three Trapped Tigers into French. Mario Vargas Llosa was already for then famous in the wake of the immense success of The City and the Dogs and The Green House. He couldn't translate Conversatipn in the Cathedral, as was the wish of Vargas Llosa, because of the link of this with the Gallimard publishing house, but from 1972 he obtained the rights for the translation of Los cachorros, and from there he has translated all of Vargas Llosa's writings, both novels and theater -of the four that he translated, two came to be performed: La señorita de Tacna and La Chunga- as essays, stories and articles. Most have been published in the Alfaguara Publishing House. He is currently working to adapt "The Dream of the Celt", the latest novel by the Peruvian writer. He has also translated from French works such as Chisnetos blasonnets, which he poured into Spanish with Ricardo Redoli Morales (Comares, 1997). Also noteworthy is his essay on his experience as a translator Confessions d'un traître: an essay on translation (Comares, 1999).
