"In this deeply personal book, the internationally renowned Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes steps back to survey the wellsprings of art and ideology, the events that have shaped our time, and his extraordinary life and fiercest passions." Arranged alphabetically from "Amore" to "Zurich," This I Believe takes us on an inner journey with a great writer. Fuentes ranges wide, from contradictions inherent in Latin American culture and politics to his long friendship with director Luis Bunuel. Along the way, we find reflections on the mixed curse and blessing of globalization; memories of a sexual initiation in Zurich; a fond tracing of a family tree heavy with poets, dreamers, and diplomats; evocations of the streets, cafes, and bedrooms of Washington, Paris, Santiago de Chile, Cambridge, Oaxaca, and New York; and a celebration of literary heroes including Balzac, Cervantes, Faulkner, Kafka, and Shakespeare.
