kathleenitpdx 's review for:
The Tortilla Curtain
by T.C. Boyle
T.C. Boyle writes the story of two couples living within a few miles of each other--one couple is illegal Mexicans "camping out" in the canyon, the other an anglo couple living in a southern California subdivision that becomes gated and walled during the story mirroring the anglo husband's conversion from tolerant liberal to lunatic racist as the Mexicans go from a distant idea to very real people living practically in his back yard.
I enjoyed the story and it covers many issues of illegal immigration, but I did think that the Mexican Candido's bad luck was a little melodramatic in places.
