Carlos Fuentes speaking engagement postponed to undetermined date
(11:30 a.m., Sept. 13, 2001)--The speaking engagement of acclaimed Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes scheduled for Friday, Sept. 14 at the UTSA 1604 Campus has been postponed to an undetermined date. Details about the rescheduled lecture will be announced when available.
Fuentes, who was to speak on "U.S. and Mexico: Sharing a Border," is considered one of the most important contemporary voices in Latin American literature. Born in 1928, Fuentes spent his youth in Washington, D.C., where his father was posted as a Mexican diplomatic representative. As a teen, Fuentes lived in Argentina and Chile, as well as his native Mexico. Fuentes' roving childhood existence led to an education received partly in English and partly in Spanish.
Fuentes' works include over a dozen novels, beginning with his classic, "La region mas transparente"/"Where the Air is Clear" in 1958. Others include, "Diana: The Goddess Who Hunts Alone," "La Muerte de Artemio Cruz," "Crystal Frontier: A Novel in Nine Stories," "Distant Relations," "Change of Skin," "Terra Nostra," The Old Gringo" and "New Time for Mexico." His credits also number several volumes of short stories, plays and numerous essays on literary, cultural and political topics.
