Carlos Fuentes
Carlos Fuentes (1928-2012) was a Mexican novelist and essayist. He was described by the New York Times as being “one of the most admired writers in the Spanish-speaking world” in his obituary. Fuentes considered himself to be a pre-modern writer, and only used pens, ink and paper. The son of a Mexican diplomat, he would go onto become one himself, serving as ambassador to France.
