The Old Gringo

The true first edition is the Spanish 'Gringo viejo' (Fondo de Cultura Económica, Mexico, 1985). The English Farrar, Straus & Giroux edition appeared in 1985 as well; the Spanish is generally cited as the true first, and some sources place the English translation in the year following the Spanish. The English text differs from the Spanish in wording and chapter count, reflecting the author's collaboration on the translation.
