Everything about Mexico Novel totally explained
Mexico is a
novel by
James A. Michener published in
1992.
The main action of
Mexico takes place over a three-day period in the
fictional city of Toledo in
1961. The occasion is the annual
bullfighting festival, at which two
matadors — one an acclaimed hero of the sport, the other a scrapping contender — are prepared to fight to the death for fame and glory.
Through the memories of the book's narrator, an
American journalist of
Spanish,
Indian, and
Mexican descent, Michener provides plenty of historical background, including a depiction of the gruesome
human sacrifice that took place hundreds of years before on the city's periphery. The story focuses on bullfighting, but also provides great insight into Mexican culture. The reader follows the bulls from their breeding to their "sorting" to the pagentry and spectacle of the
bullring, where picadors and banderilleros prepare the bull for the entrance of the matador with his red cape. The author creates one of his most memorable characters in the bullfighting "critic" Leon Ledesma, a flamboyant
sportswriter who elevates bullfighting into an art form through his grandiloquent essays.
