The great Mexican novelist, intellectual and essayist Carlos Fuentes passed away today at the age of 83. An intellectual and cultural powerhouse, Fuentes' reputation North of the border was cemented with the publication of his fictitious take on Ambrose Bierce's missing years, The Old Gringo, in 1985. Many widely acclaimed books followed, including The Death of Artemio Cruz and The Eagle's Throne. An outspoken social critic who could write beautifully and never shied away from a bawdy joke, Fuentes' writing chronicled and defined Mexico throughout its most turbulent decades while forging a unique literary world of its own. Extensive obituaries can be found online at The New York Times and several hundred other sites.
