Carlos Fuentes

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Fuentes, Carlos 

Born Nov. 11, 1928, in Mexico City. Mexican writer.

Fuentes was educated as a lawyer. He published the short-story collection Masked Days in 1954. His novels Where the Air is Clear (1958), The Good Conscience (1959), and The Death of Artemio Cruz (1962; Russian translation, 1967) are devoted to recent Mexican history. These works, together with those of J. Rulfo, represent a new stage in the development of realist prose in Mexico. In the novels A Change of Skin (1967) and Birthday (1975), Fuentes added avant-garde techniques to his artistic repertoire. Fuentes has also published a play called All the Cats Are Gray (1970; Russian translation, 1972) and a collection of critical essays under the title The New Hispano-American Novel (1969).
