scottflanary 's review for:
The Tortilla Curtain
by T.C. Boyle
This book started strong: a harrowing incident sets the stage for racial and socioeconomic divided protagonists. The innate feelings of the privileged couple may check the reader’s unconscious biases. As the story progresses, the structure of the book feels messy and the plot is diluted with repetition. What is the author trying to show? Recommended to me after American Dirt, I felt AD was a stronger, slightly different portrayal of this subject matter.
