Review:

"In Christopher Unborn, Carlos Fuentes has imagined the worst for his country's near future, but he's done it with such humor, verve, invention, erudition and baroque whirligig plotting that the result is a vital, hopeful book, a great salvage operation in the trash heaps of Western culture, Spanish literature and Mexican history."
