The Encounters

Carlos Fuentes says of this book: “To be Mexican is to be polycultural; this awareness of the contrasting diversity of several cultures in one is part of the uncomfortable generational perception to which Víctor and I belong. In this regard, he sees Christ in a car and the Three Wise Men with black aviator goggles, a penitent chewing bubble gum in Granada, and Judas with an Instamatic.”
