«Gringo viejo» is the historical novel by Carlos Fuentes, published by Mondadori España in paperback (191 pages, in Spanish).
In 1913, during the Mexican Revolution, an old American writer inspired by Ambrose Bierce ventures into Mexico seeking a dignified death. Fuentes reconstructs his possible itinerary and interweaves history, desire and memory in a reflection on identity, the search for the father and the border as a scar between two countries.
The novel was originally published in 1985; this edition is from 1989 and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in 1986.
For readers of historical fiction, Latin American literature and stories set during the Mexican Revolution.
