This research paper: A 4 page essay that reviews Charles Portis' humorous novel Gringos. The writer argues that plot--what there is of a plot--is secondary in this novel and that characterization is the overwhelming feature of the narrative. The novel's laid-back protagonist, Jimmy Burns, an expatriate American living in Mexico, does various odd jobs and rescues various people from a UFO nut in the Yucatan jungle, but the vague, rambling plot is secondary to the quirky, cast of characters that makeup Jimmy's friends and acquaintances. Therefore, this examination of Gringos looks not at the plot, but at the way that Portis characterizes several of these people. No additional sources cited.
