    About this ebook


    ___________________

    AN EXPLORATION OF LOVE, LUST AND BETRAYAL

    Part novel, part expose, Diana is a stirring portrait of a passionate affair amid the cultural chaos of the 1960s and 1970s. The central character is Diana Soren, an elegy for a decade that refused to die. She is a predator set on self-destruction, and a casualty of her own times and beauty.

    Mexico's pre-eminent novelist presents a poignant story of bittersweet love that was a huge success in his native country.

    • 3/5
      Inspired to read Carlos Fuentes upon the unfortunate event of his death, I picked up this one, which intrigued me because I hadn't heard of it before; it was based on Fuentes' real-life affair with actress, Jean Seberg; and it clocks in at a manageable couple hundred pages.
      It's an uneven read, but I liked it, especially Fuentes' asides on politics, religion, history, ethnicity, etc. (The novel begins with this sentence: "No bondage is worse than the hope of happiness.") It is a raggedy, rough, sometimes embarrassing read, but it is also reflective, sometimes beautifully so.
    • 3/5
      The story is insinuated to be autobiographical account of a 2 month romance between the author and an actress. The object of his affections has the fictitious name Diana Soren but the plot makes no effort to hide that the real life actress is Jean Seberg. The identity is so thinly veiled that one wonders why Fuentes chose to even change her name. I was left wondering if this a true account or a fantasy of an affair that Fuentes always wished for but never experienced. Definitely not one of Fuentes' best but its a short read.
