FYI Only!
Libreria Martinez Books and Art Gallery is doing it again! We would
like to cordially invite you to perhaps the most extraordinary event
ever in the cultural life of Santa Ana, CA. We are thrilled to
announce that we will be presenting none other than the world-
renowned Carlos Fuentes!!
Carlos Fuentes is universally recognized as one of the most important
figures in Latin American literature today. He is undoubtedly
Mexico's most respected and widely read author along with Octavio
Paz. His writings have heavily influenced contemporary Latin American
literature.
His first published works were short stories, such as those in the
collection Los das enmascarados (The Masked Days, 1954). In 1958 he
published his first novel, La regin ms transparente (translated as
Where the Air Is Clear,1960), in which he bitterly indicted Mexican
society.The book established Fuentes's preoccupation with Mexican
history and national identity as well as his innovative use of
flashbacks, the thoughts of characters, and other experimental
techniques to build complex narratives.
He achieved international acclaim with the novel La muerte de Artemio
Cruz (1962; The Death of Artemio Cruz,1964), which tells the story of
a dying Mexican political boss agonizing over the immoral acts of his
life. Fuentes followed these books with many novels, including
Cambio del piel (1967;
A Change of Skin,1968), Terra nostra (1975; translated 1976),
El gringo viejo (1985; The Old Gringo,1985), and Diana, o, la
cazadora solitaria (1994; Diana, The Goddess Who Hunts Alone, 1995).
Fuentes continued to write short stories, as well as writing plays,
books of essays, and works of literary criticism, notably La nueva
novela hispanoamericana (The New Latin American Novel, 1969).
His brand new book, Instinto de Inez published this year by Alfaguara
will be available for purchase and signing. Don't miss this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Carlos and to receive his
signature on your very own copy.
"El amor, como la pera, es hermoso, extrao, salvaje, convulsivo y
doloroso."
