"The author of Tex[t]-Mex is also a border-born Tejano who is genuinely appalled at what passes for Mexican in the U.S. media. But he doesn´t get snitty about it, doesn't scold (too much), keeps his theoretical feet on the decidedly non-theoretical ground, and sees the humor in all of it. Which sets him apart from the pomo crowd he runs with, and makes Tex[t]-Mex a valuable, sometimes hilarious, maybe even loveable, but surely learned, condemnation of stereotypes."

heroes | mentors heroes | mentors heroes | mentors I thought I was trying to evolve an argument that would in some way just knock issues of veracity out of the water, that would make them almost laughable. But I ended up realizing that what I was trying to do was to find a mode of writing sexual fantasy, really, and exploring the way we project [it] onto the materials that we are supposedly studying-- not as something that might actually be happening within them (you know: the question of who fancies whom and of whether they repressed or acted on it and with what consequences), but rather as a way of conceptualizing the material and linking yourself to it....¶"Without," for me, is that funny state where you think you're doing one thing, then realize that you're doing something completely different, which always builds on the familiar quagmire of "knowledge." Irit Rogoff
interviewThe future is part of desire, and desire is extremely important. I think it's very important in my novels and it has to do with want, it has to do with yearning, and with the way we strive towards what we merely call the obscure object of desire. This is, of course, never an innocent operation because it implies not only having what we want, but changing it according to our conception of it, changing the other person. The other person might very well resist not only our desire but our wanting to take over and change. And therefore, conflict, and therefore, narrative, novels, drama, and many other things. But I cannot understand the future without the category of desire and all that desire implies. Carlos Fuentes
1988
I just can't help writing by hand. One types by hand also. It is not that the hand disappears, but if I start typing, or working on the screen, I am dinosaur. I find that it disappears from me. I have a secretary but she certainly does not type the stuff I write. I am from the manual typewriter era. The extraordinary editing capacities of the computer also touch me. That second typing on the screen is a creative moment. It is just not the first moment. Is writing the first moment we do not know. I consume the affect of writing by hand. Another reason is that I do a lot of work in areas where there no electricity at all.

1964What's the most widely held misconception about you and your work? That I'm a skeptical nihilist who doesn't believe in anything, who thinks nothing has meaning, and text has no meaning. That's stupid and utterly wrong, and only people who haven't read me say this. It's a misreading of my work that began 35 years ago, and it's difficult to destroy. I never said everything is linguistic and we're enclosed in language. In fact, I say the opposite, and the deconstruction of logocentrism was conceived to dismantle precisely this philosophy for which everything is language. Anyone who reads my work with attention understands that I insist on affirmation and faith, and that I'm full of respect for the texts I read.
