margardenlady 's review for:
The Tortilla Curtain
by T.C. Boyle
Wow. Another novel about illegal immigrants, and clearly describes the horror and humiliation they are subjected to while trying to work. They are definitely not a drag on our social systems, rather they are easy prey for those trying to cheat or abuse them (some of whom are white,others not).
This novel contains a parallel storyline about a white couple whose lives unintentionally intersect those of an immigrant couple. We watch the husband move philosophically from liberal progressive to angry American in his suburban community which both profits by the cheap labor of the illegals and resents their presence.
Complicated issues with no clear answer.
