More From Carlos Fuentes
- "I am not interested in slice of life, what I want is a slice of the imagination."
- "You have an absolute freedom in Mexican writing today in which you don’t necessarily have to deal with the Mexican identity. You know why? Because we have an identity… We know who we are. We know what it means to be a Mexican."
- "The United States has written the white history of the United States. It now needs to write the black, Latino, Indian, Asian and Caribbean history of the United States."
