The Mexican dream, or, The interrupted thought of Amerindian civilizations 1993
- Indians of Mexico, Indian influences, Civilization, Indian philosophy
"Not one dream but many unfold in J.M.G. Le Clezio's conjuring of the consciousness of Mexico, a powerful evocation of the imaginings that made and unmade an ancient culture. "What motivated me," Le Clezio has said, "was a sort of dream about what has disappeared and what could have been."
