Synopsis

Esta novela esta conformada por nueve cuentos en los que Fuentes muestra la separacion entre Mexico y Estados Unidos en el lapso de doscientos anos; esta ruptura es vista desde el cristal del racismo, la discriminacion, el rencor, el sufrimiento, la desesperanza, la violencia y el desamparo que han padecido los mexicanos al atravesar la linea fronteriza, pero tambien esta realidad nos enfrenta a la fortaleza con la que los mexicanos se han defendido para salir adelante frente a un gobierno malo y corrupto. La frontera de cristal es tambien el lugar donde las lineas no son divisibles ni divisables, pues los suenos se desvanecen ante la voraz realidad que sobrepasa al mexicano. 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."
