More From Carlos Fuentes
- "I had the good fortune of having a happy, closely knit family."
- "I believe in books that do not go to a ready-made public. I’m looking for readers I would like to make. To win them, to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. That would bore me to death."
- "I use a lot of film images, analogies, and imagination."
