A prize-winning author's scathing, satirical novel featuring an unborn narrator's perspective of his soon-to-be home country, Mexico. A playfully savage and inspired masterpiece by Carlos Fuentes, Christopher Unborn is narrated by the as yet unborn first child to be born on October 12, 1992, the five hundredth anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America; his conception and birth bracket the novel. "A post-modern extravaganza." — Kirkus Reviews "With nearly every stylistic device known to modern fictionists, Christopher-the-foetus observes his parents, uncles, maiden aunts, national leaders, tourists, rock musicians, and recounts outrageous incidents, past and present, that defy summarizing." — Publishers Weekly
