His work includes over a dozen novels, among them \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Artemio Cruz\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChristopher Unborn\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Old Gringo\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTerra Nostra\u003c\/i\u003e, several volumes of short stories, numerous essays on literary, cultural, and political topics, and some theater.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, Raymond Leslie Williams traces the themes of history, culture, and identity in Fuentes' work, particularly in his complex, major novel \u003ci\u003eTerra Nostra\u003c\/i\u003e. He opens with a biography of Fuentes that links his works to his intellectual life. The heart of the study is Williams' extensive reading of the novel \u003ci\u003eTerra Nostra\u003c\/i\u003e, in which Fuentes explores the presence of Spanish culture and history in Latin America. Williams concludes with a look at how Fuentes' other fiction relates to \u003ci\u003eTerra Nostra\u003c\/i\u003e, including Fuentes' own division of his work into fourteen cycles that he calls \"La Edad del Tiempo,\" and with an interview in which Fuentes discusses his concept of this cyclical division.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaymond Leslie Williams is Professor of Latin American literature at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
