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.
