by Carlos Fuentes (Author)
Carlos Fuentes examina la separación entre México y Estados Unidos con el cristal de la discriminación, el racismo, la violencia, pero también la fuerza de la vida mexicana, que parece sobrevivir a todas las agresiones.
En La frontera de cristal, Carlos Fuentes es el mismo narrador de sus mejores libros: agresivo, vital, poderoso. Encuentra todos los ángulos posibles en una historia, con una variante insospechada: la comicidad. Esta es una novela relatada a través de nueve cuentos que transcurren, de un lado y del otro, en las proximidades de la raya fronteriza entre México y Estados Unidos. Más allá de lo inevitable, que suele presentarse en forma de discriminación, violencia y desamparo, los personajes que habitan estas páginas encuentran material para los sueños y energía para el humor, así sea tan sólo porque saben que "la única frontera real está entre el cuerpo y el alma". Carlos Fuentes reproduce la separación que se ha dado entre ambos países a lo largo de 200 años y la examina con el cristal de la discriminación, el racismo, la violencia, pero también la fuerza de la vida mexicana, que parece sobrevivir a todas las agresiones. La crítica ha opinado: "A fuerza de contarnos, Carlos Fuentes nos vuelve indispensables y gracias a él somos reconocibles" -Elena Poniatowska- ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This novel portrays Carlos Fuentes' best; it is aggressive, sharp, and powerful. With penetrating humor and frank narrative, the nine stories (in this novel) depict the rift that has occurred between the U.S. and Mexico in the last two hundred years. But Fuentes also gives us an insight into the force of Mexican life and culture, and how it has been able to survive in spite of the injustice and corruption in Mexico that have caused so many to seek to immigrate.Author Biography
