This review is from: Carlos Fuentes' the Death of Artemio Cruz (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations) (Library Binding)

The latest in the extensive Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations series, Carlos Fuentes' The Death of Artemio Cruz is an anthology of essays by learned scholars discussing the finer points of the novel "The Death of Artemio Cruz" (1962) by contemporary Mexican author Carlos Fuentes. This novel about the legacy of the Mexican Revolution, as told from the perspective of Artemio Cruz on his deathbed, expresses a core search for Mexican identity in the wake of promises, failures, and hopes following the Revolution. Essays address issues of fathers and sons, comparisons between The Death of Artemio Cruz and Citizen Kane, the expression of memory and time, and much more. A scholarly and diverse analysis of a Mexican literary classic, recommended for college library and international literary studies shelves.
