[edit] Literary significance & criticism
- "...a dominating theme in his work is the search for Mexican national identity. Of his eleven novels, it is in The Death of Artemio Cruz that this mindset is expressed most strongly" says reviewer Jim Tuck[1].
Tuck goes on further to say,#
- "A grim story -- but one that dramatically showcases the intensity of the author's desire to lock into the most poignant period of Mexico's history"[1].
