One of Carlos Fuentes's greatest works, "The Old Gringo" tells the
story of Ambrose Bierce, the American writer, soldier, and
journalist, and of his last mysterious days in Mexico living among
Pancho Villa's soldiers, particularly his encounter with General
Tomas Arroyo. In the end, the incompatibility of the two countries
(or, paradoxically, their intimacy) claims both men, in a novel
that is, most of all, about the tragic history of two cultures in
conflict.
