"The ability of Carlos Fuentes to fascinate, baffle and provoke puts him alongside Nabokov and Calvino as one of the mandarin magicians of literature. Of the three, he is the most adventurous. ... The ingenuity of this book is remarkable."
The author of more than a dozen novels and story collections, Carlos Fuentes (1928-2012) was Mexico's most celebrated novelist and critic. He received numerous honors and awards throughout his lifetime, including the Miguel de Cervantes Prize and the Belisario Dom?nguez Medal of Honor. Among his books are Terra Nostra, Vlad, Adam in Eden, and Distant Relations, all of which are available from Dalkey Archive Press.
