We have to assimilate the enormous weight of our past so that we will not forget what gives us life. If you forget your past, you die.
-Carlos Fuentes to Alfred MacAdam and Charles Ruas
I believe in books that do not go to a ready-made public. . . . I'm looking for readers I would like to make. . . . To win them, . . . to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. That would bore me to death.
-Carlos Fuentes , Washington Post
[Fuentes can] plunge readers into the hidden recesses of his characters' minds and at the same time allow language to pile up around their heads in thick drifts, until they feel lost in a blizzard of words that enables them to see, to feel, in a revolutionary way.
-Jonah Raskin, Village Voice
