CARLOS FUENTES Carlos Fuentes, born in 1928 is a Mexican writer, editor, and diplomat. He was head of the department of cultural relations in Mexico's ministry of foreign affairs (1956–59) and Mexican ambassador to France (1975–77). Much of his fiction is a synthesis of reality and fantasy, transcending the limits of time and space (see magic realism). His works include La región más transparente (1958; tr. Where the Air Is Clear, 1960), Las buenas conciencias (1959; tr. Good Conscience, 1968), Cambio de piel (1967; tr. A Change of Skin, 1968), Terra Nostra (1975), Una familia lejana (1980; tr. Distant Relations, 1982), and The Campaign (1990, tr. 1991). His nonfiction book The Buried Mirror (1992) is a study of Spanish and Latin American cultural history. |
