His first novel, it became an "instant classic" and made Fuentes into an immediate "literary sensation." The novel's success allowed Fuentes to leave his job as a diplomat and become a full-time author. The novel is built around the story of Federico Robles ââ¬â who has abandoned his revolutionary ideals to become a powerful financier ââ¬â but also offers "a kaleidoscopic presentation" of vignettes of Mexico City, making it as much a "biography of the city" as of an individual man. It was celebrated not only for its prose, which made heavy use of interior monologue and explorations of the subconscious, but also for its "stark portrait of inequality and moral corruption in modern Mexico.
