Carlos Fuentes, a Mexican...

...novelist, died at age 83. According to his obit in the Times: 

Mr. Fuentes was one of the most admired writers in the Spanish-speaking world, a catalyst, along with Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa and Julio Cortázar, of the explosion of Latin American literature in the 1960s and ’70s, known as El Boom. 

El Boom? Really? Who came up that, Chris Farley?
