...What follows on the next page is not a novel but a love poem. When Fernández finally arrives at his novel, it is surprisingly short and just as self-reflexive, centering on a group of characters who live in a place called La Novela. In a final prologue, Fernández once again defies expectations, providing an open invitation for the reader to rewrite the whole thing...

...core, the telenovela is selling the same idea that made shows like The Bachelor so popular: "You really think that there is one soul mate for you," Galán says. "It's a universal desire." But the scripts need adjustment. "It's very commonplace for a protagonist of a novela to be a virgin until she gets married," she says. "In the U.S., it would seem ridiculous...

Farfetched? No doubt. But when Tu o Nadie (Nobody but You), the Mexican novela that spun this improbable yarn, was telecast on Los Angeles' KMEX last spring, it drew more viewers for its time slot than any other independent station in the area. Nor was that an anomaly for Los Angeles' thriving Channel 34. An affiliate of SIN (the Spanish International Network), KMEX tops two of the city's three major network affiliates in reaching young adults during certain important time periods.
