jayco 's review for:

The Death of Artemio Cruz by Carlos Fuentes
4.0
challenging dark emotional reflective slow-paced
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book deserves to be reread after I've read some 19th and 20th century Mexican history. I know I would get a lot more from it. There is a lot of symbolism to chew on in here. Fuentes has such a beautiful poetic style. The ending made me cry. Beautiful
