The Old Gringo (Spanish: Gringo Viejo) is a novel by Carlos Fuentes, first published in 1985. Its English language translation of the same year was the first novel by a Mexican author to be a U.S. bestseller[1] and was one of three nominees for the Ritz Paris Hemingway Award as best novel of 1985.[2] An unsuccessful adaptation to film followed in 1989.[3] Later criticism has found in the novel a wary consideration of the irreconcilability of United States and Mexican mindsets.
