Literature

Difficult though it often is to recognize the value of a young author's work when he is working in the shadow of an internationally recognized parent, it would be more difficult still not to appreciate the talent behind these posthumous poems by Carlos Fuentes Lemus, son of the author of "Terra Nostra" and "Distant Relations". The intimate texts that compose this book give us a glimpse of a major poet who understood early on that adolescence is a dangerous word. Chronicling his brief life, 04:56 introduces us to a writer capable of celebrating the world even while aware of his imminent departure from it.
