In The Man Who Wrote Pancho Villa, we see the famous author as he really was: a careful craftsman of his own image and legacy. His five-volume biography of Villa propelled him to the heights of Mexican cultural life, and thus began his true life's work. Nicholas Cifuentes-Goodbody shapes this study of Guzman through the lens of "life writing" and uncovers a tireless effort by Guzman to shape his public image. The Man Who Wrote Pancho Villa places Guzman's work in a biographical context, shedding light on the immediate motivations behind his writing in a given moment and the subsequent ways in which he rewrote or repackaged the material. Despite his efforts to establish a definitive reading of his life and literature, Guzman was unable to control that interpretation as audiences became less tolerant of the glaring omissions in his self-portrait"--Provided by publisher.Authors, Mexican20th centuryBiographyHistoriansMexicoBiographyBiographyAuthorshipElectronic books.Authors, MexicanHistoriansBiographyAuthorship.863Cifuentes-Goodbody Nicholas1032673MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467045303321The man who wrote Pancho Villa2450662UNINA
