The pieces collected in "Mexican Writers on Writing" present a vibrant cross-section of Mexican authors' thoughts on the written word, from Carlos Fuentes' s instructional Decalogue, to Bernardo de Balbuena' s eloquent dissertation on the beauty of poetry, to Octavio Paz' s analysis of the essence of translation. From the literature of colonialism and conquest to contemporary writing, these writers reveal intimate views on what it is to be a writer, and explore just how flexible the boundaries of what we have termed "literature" can be.
