Christopher Unborn is the tenth novel by the Mexican author Carlos Fuentes. Originally published by the Fondo de Cultura Económica in 1987. It is 1992 and the sky over Makesicko City is black with oily, carboniferous rain. Here there are 28 million people and 128 million rats. Gangs of homeless youths speaking Spanglish - or Anglatl - roam the chaotic, violent streets. Observing all this, commenting and reflecting, is Christopher, still unborn in his mother's womb. His parents have conceived him so that he can be entered for the great Christopher Columbus prize, being the first child born on 12 October 1992, 500 years after the discovery of the New World.
