Gringo viejo
The Old Gringo
The Old Gringo is a novel by Carlos Fuentes, first published in 1985. Its English language translation of the following year, by Margaret Sayers Peden, was the first novel by a Mexican author to be a U.S. bestseller and was one of three nominees for the Ritz Paris Hemingway Award as best novel of 1985. An unsuccessful adaptation to film followed in 1989. Later criticism has found in the novel a wary consideration of the irreconcilability of United States and Mexican mindsets.Wikipedia →
