Un fulgurante éxito de ventas mexicano en Estados Unidos, Gringo viejo (1985) es una de las novelas más famosas de Carlos Fuentes, figura central de la narrativa y la ensayística mexicana. En Gringo viejo, Fuentes plasma los turbulentos años de la lucha revolucionaria en México, cuando un viejo escritor norteamericano escéptico, insalvablemente amargo, que no se resigna a esperar la muerte por enfermedad o por accidente, decide cruzar la frontera de su país en busca de una muerte digna.
Inspirada en la desaparición del escritor Ambrose Bierce en tiempos de la Revolución mexicana, la novela aborda temas como la muerte, el intercambio cultural y, sobre todo, una constante de la obra de Fuentes: la identidad mexicana. Un escritor y periodista estadounidense decide dejar su vida atrás y va en busca de una muerte gloriosa en medio de la Revolución mexicana. Este gringo viejo eventualmente formará parte de la comitiva de Pancho Villa, quien ha liberado tierras que poseían los Miranda, una familia de terratenientes acaudalados. Su vida en territorio nacional, en medio del pueblo, le enseñará sus costumbres e ideas, otra forma de ver la vida.
