Writing Is A Struggle Against Silence.

For Me, Life Without Literature Is Inconceivable. I Think That Don Quixote In A Physical Sense Never Existed, But Don Quixote Exists More Than Anybody Who Existed In 1605. Much More.

The Mexican Revolution Was A Break With The Past To Recover The Past. We Were Trying To Deny We Had An Indian And A Black And A Spanish Past. The Mexican Revolution Accepted All Heritages. It Allowed Mexico To Be Mestizo.
