Revisiting a day in Mexican history
With Mexico’s future hanging in the balance, the two men sit down to the historic parlay without quite knowing how to begin. Eager to smooth over the awkwardness, Zapata calls for cognac, knowing a drink is the surest way to recover your footing in uncertain terrain. They need something to sip and hold in their hands, to give in to a spirit’s warmth and let it lighten the gravity of their meeting. Released from mutual discomfort, they might start to build the bridge between north and south, bandit and farmer, that will allow them to discover just how much common ground there is between them..
