| 5. | Michener, James A. Mexico [Large Print]
Random House Trade Paperbacks 1992 N Library Binding Good+, former library, corners bumped, text is very clean
Large Print Edition. From Publishers Weekly nSchematic plotting, tortilla-thin characterizations and lengthy digressions on bullfighting mar this lumbering multigenerational saga about Mexico's resilient spirit, which Michener began in 1961 and returned to 30 years later. Norman Clay, earnest American journalist born and raised in Mexico, is sent to his native city in 1961 to cover a potentially deadly showdown between two famous matadors who represent the two faces of Mexico, the Spaniard versus the Indian. This bullfight festival, the book's centerpiece, is interwoven with more interesting historical interludes in which Clay grapples with his own mixed heritage.

The colorful novel cuts a wide swath through history but doesn't catch fire as a personal story.

Mexican-born Norman Clay, a journalist for a New York publication, returns to his natal city to report on the bullfights that highlight its annual festival. This year two matadors are joined in a rivalry that could end in death.
