Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Carlos Fuentes (1928- ) Mexican novelist, journalist, playwright, and essayist, who made his international breakthrough with The Death of Artemio Cruz in 1962. Major themes in Fuentes's work are the limitless power of fantasy, the dilemma of national identity, and the promise and failure of the Mexican revolution. Fuentes has been frequently mentioned as a candidate for the Nobel Prize for literature "I tighten my face muscles, I open my right eye, and I see it reflected in the squares of glass sewn onto a woman's handbag. That's what I am. That's what I am. That old man whose features are fragmented by the uneven squares of glass. I am that eye. I am that eye. I am that eye furrowed by accumulated rage, and old, forgotten, but always renewed rage." (from The Death of Artemio Cruz Carlos Fuentes was born in Panama City, but his parents were Mexican, and he later became a Mexican citizen. Fuentes's father, Rafael Fuentes Boettiger, loved books and movies. He was a career diplomat and travelled all over the world. At the age of twenty-five, he married the eighteen-year-old Berta Macías Rivas, Fuentes's mother, who was not so liberal-minded as his father. As a child Fuentes lived with his family in the United States, Chile, and Argentina. Berta insisted that the family spoke only Spanish at home, but after education in Washington, Fuentes became bilingual from an early age. At home his father made him read Mexican history, which Fuestes saw as a history of crushing defeats compared with the United States. "I learned to imagine Mexico before I ever knew Mexico", Fuentes once said.

Amb. Carlos Fuentes Carlos Fuentes is one of Latin America's most distinguished novelists and a one-man international cultural and political force. As a literary figure, he is legendary. Born in 1928, Carlos Fuentes spent his youth in Washington, D.C., where his father was posted as a Mexican diplomatic representative. As a teen, Fuentes lived in Argentina and Chile, as well as his Mexico. These early experiences gave Fuentes his unique hemispheric perspective and literary voice. Few Latin American writers have such an intimate knowledge of Americans or see the American/Latin American cultural dynamic with the great depth of which Fuentes possesses. He is intimately in touch with both the gringo and Latino souls and he speaks with a particularly international voice.

His Home Page His Biography. REBEL, INTERNATIONALIST, ESTABLISHMENTARIAN: THE MEANDERING ROAD OF CARLOS FUENTES Carlos Fuentes was an internationalist from birth. Though one of Mexico's best-known citizens, he was born on November 11, 1928, in Panama, where his father represented the Mexican government. Mexico played only a minor role in his early childhood, most of which was spent in Washington, DC. He also lived in Chile and Argentina. In 1944, at the age of sixteen, he came to Mexico. He received a law degree at Mexico's National Autonomous University and in 1950 went to Geneva, Switzerland, to serve as secretary to the Mexican delegate to the International Law Commission of the United Nations. While in Geneva, Fuentes wrote his doctoral dissertation while also working as press secretary at the U.N. Information Center. He returned to Mexico in 1951. Before long, Fuentes was following two careers diplomacy and literature. His first major work, published in 1954, was Los días enmascaradas ("The Masked Days"), containing three short stories. In 1956 he teamed up with Manuel Carballo to found a literary publication called Revista Mexicana de Literatura. Between 1956 and 1959, in a role that combined government service and the arts, Fuentes was director of international cultural relations for Mexico's Ministry of Exterior Relations (Foreign Affairs). Fidel Castro came to power in 1959 and Fuentes was an early and enthusiastic supporter of the Cuban Marxist leader. This militant stand brought him into disfavor with the U.S. government and Fuentes was barred for a time from entering the United States. He moved to Paris in the mid-sixties and in 1975 was appointed Mexican ambassador to France. But he resigned in 1977. He had become dissatisfied with his government, then headed by President José López Portillo.

More on Carlos Fuentes From the Archives of The New York Times REVIEWS: The Good Conscience "It zeroes in relentlessly on the coming-of-age of an adolescent whose every impulse to Christian behavior and social idealism is thwarted by the insensitive materialism of his family." The Death of Artemio Cruz "What he seems to be saying in this extraordinary novel is not only that the 1911 revolution has come to a dead end, but also (and more important) that, given man's nature, Marxist solutions are facing the same blank wall." Aura "The paucity of detail gives the impression not of conscious selection, but of careless writing, more like a sketch for a novel than a viable short story." A Change of Skin "At any rate, politically objectionable or not, Fuentes has written a challenging and interesting, if occasionally silly and pretentious, book." "Letter to The Editor" Fuentes writes: "I have no quarrel with David Gallagher's literary misconceptions in his review of my novel, 'A Change of Skin,' though it is distressing to find that he consistently fails to grasp the parodical intentions of the book and thereby falls, quite innocently, into the very portentousness he seems to be decrying." " Terra Nostra "Deep within, while writing this book, Carlos Fuentes seems to sense that he might be making a mistake."

20. Carlos Fuentes On Chiapas Indepth analysis of the political situation by the prominent Mexican novelist and member of the official Mexican Commission for Human Rights. http://www.indians.org/welker/carlosfu.htm

Indigenous Peoples' Literature Carlos Fuentes sobre Chiapas Carlos Fuentes on Chiapas One of Mexico's most prominent novelists and a member of the official Mexican Commission for Human Rights, Carlos Fuentes is author, most recently, of: Return to Mexico: Journeys Behind the Mask. Commandante Marcos, the spokesman of the Chiapas rebels, has said that Fuentes is his favorite writer. The Chiapas revolt has revealed the deep multicultural rifts that had been masked by official glorification of Mexico's pre- Hispanic past. In the United States, there are civil rights laws for dealing with racial conflict in a multicultural society. We have always congratulated ourselves in Mexico on our extraordinary Indian culture which we display in museums and through imposing monuments along our boulevards. We say we are proud of being the descendants of that culture. The Mexican Revolution made an attempt to respect the identity of the Indian communities of Mexico, recognizing and protecting them and their languages in the constitution. In actual practice, however, we have treated the Indians with more cruelty, perhaps, than Cortez.
