This I Believe : An A-Z of a Writer's Life

See all formats and editions

This I Believe is an A-Z of the things that Carlos Fuentes loves and passionately believes in: it is a kind of manifesto, but one that also draws on key moments in his life.

In a series of meditations and polemics, Fuentes explores and celebrates subjects as disparate as ?Balzac? and ?Beauty?; ?Reading? and ?Revolution?; ?Sex? and ?Shakespeare?. The essays are woven together with the familiar Fuentes themes of politics, time and language; and through them runs the vein of his personal journey, his views on love, sex, women, friendship and family.

In ?Children? Fuentes tells of the births of his daughters and gives a wrenching account of his son?s short life; ?Silvia? is a paean to his wife.
