About Oscar Flores Tapia
- Oscar Flores Tapia (February 5, 1913 – July 11, 1998) was a Mexican journalist, writer and politician who was a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party.
- He was Governor of the state of Coahuila from December 1, 1975, until his resignation on August 11, 1981.
- Flores was succeeded by Governor Francisco José Madero González following his August 1981 resignation.Flores founded the Association of Writers and Journalists Saltillo in 1950. Oscar Flores Tapia wrote a memoir about his childhood entitled "La Casa de Mi Abuela" ("The House of My Grandmother").
- It is not clear if it was first published in 1959 or in 1978--perhaps it was first published in 1959 and then re-issued two decades later.
- In any event, it was treated in Saltillo as if it were newly published in 1978.
- Probably the fact that Flores was the governor of the Mexican state of Coahuila in the late 1970s caused there to be a renewed interest in his memoir at that time.
