A partir de la aparición de Pedro Páramo, en marzo de 1955, Rulfo escribe su segunda novela, El gallo de oro. Ambientada en el mundo de las peleas de gallos y concebida como proyecto cinematográfico, probablemente se trate de la obra menos conocida del autor mexicano. No obstante ese desconocimiento, la valoración literaria está al mismo nivel que Pedro Páramo y Llano en Llamas.
