    The Art of Fiction Paris Review<\/a> on Carlos Fuentes <\/p>\n

    Yes. I suppose I started to write Terra Nostra in that Catholic school in Mexico City. St. John Chrysostom says that purely spiritual love between a man and a woman should be condemned because their appetites grow so much and lust accumulates. This is an essential point in Terra Nostra, where people can never meet in the flesh and have others do the actual fornication for them. I learned a lot in Catholic school.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Carlos Fuentes<\/a> passed away – he was 83<\/a> <\/p>\n

    The elegant, mustachioed author’s other contemporary classics included \u201cAura,\u201d \u201cTerra Nostra,\u201d and \u201cThe Good Conscience.\u201d Many American readers know him for \u201cThe Old Gringo,\u201d a novel about San Francisco journalist Ambrose Bierce, who disappeared at the height of the 1910-1920 Mexican Revolution. That book was later made into a film starring Gregory Peck and Jane Fonda.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
