In \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Wrote Pancho Villa\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Wrote Pancho Villa\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.6 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 22, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52693054914867,"sku":"9780826520531","price":150.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/6KrD6Kn32W9780826520531.webp?v=1763038372","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-man-who-wrote-pancho-villa-martin-luis-guzman-and-the-politics-of-life-writing-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
