Martin Luis Guzman was many things throughout his career in
twentieth-century Mexico: a soldier in Pancho Villa's revolutionary
army, a journalist-in-exile, one of the most esteemed novelists and
scholars of the revolutionary era, and an elder statesman and
politician. In The Man Who Wrote Pancho Villa, we see the famous
author as he really was: a careful craftsman of his own image and
legacy. His five-volume biography of Villa propelled him to the
heights of Mexican cultural life, and thus began his true life's
work. Nicholas Cifuentes-Goodbody shapes this study of Guzman
through the lens of ""life writing"" and uncovers a tireless effort
by Guzman to shape his public image. The Man Who Wrote Pancho Villa
places Guzman's work in a biographical context, shedding light on
the immediate motivations behind his writing in a given moment and
the subsequent ways in which he rewrote or repackaged the material.
Despite his efforts to establish a definitive reading of his life
and literature, Guzman was unable to control that interpretation as
audiences became less tolerant of the glaring omissions in his
self-portrait.
