Fiction Family Life
As the novel opens, Artemio Cruz, the all-powerful newspaper
magnate and land baron, lies confined to his bed and, in
dreamlike flashes, recalls the pivotal episodes of his life.
Carlos Fuentes manipulates the ensuing kaleidoscope of
images with dazzling inventiveness, layering memory upon
memory, from Cruz’s heroic campaigns during the Mexican
Revolution, through his relentless climb from poverty to
wealth, to his uneasy death. Perhaps Fuentes’s masterpiece,
The Death of Artemio Cruz is a haunting voyage into
the soul of modern Mexico.
