“Melting pot,” a phrase inevitably associated with the United
States, may be even more applicable to Mexico, where ancient
civilizations merge with modern cultures in a cross-current of
peoples, languages and dialects, art and music, religions, hidden
cosmologies, and fabled ruins. Travelers’ Tales Mexico explores
this deep diversity in essays by important writers who have
experienced it firsthand. On his journey south of the border,
Carlos Fuentes reveals layer upon layer of history in Mexico
City’s town square; Alice Adams discovers her love for Frida
Kahlo’s work; Pete Hamill unearths the ghosts of Hollywood in
Puerto Vallarta; and Mary Morris moves to San Miguel to find a
writer’s life. Travelers’ Tales Mexico is a lyrical reminder of
why it’s both a pleasure and a necessity to visit this
magnificent country.
