La frontera de cristal / The Crystal Frontier (Spanish Edition) Spanish Edition | by Carlos Fuentes (NEW)

Debolsillo, 2016. Trade paperback. New. Text in Spanish.

Carlos Fuentes examines the separation between Mexico and the United States through the lens of discrimination, racism, and violence, but also through the resilience of Mexican life, which seems to survive all aggression.

In *The Crystal Frontier *, Fuentes is the same narrator as in his best books: aggressive, vital, and powerful. He finds every possible angle in a story, with an unexpected twist: humor.

This is a novel told through nine short stories that unfold, on both sides of the border, near the line between Mexico and the United States. Beyond the inevitable, which often manifests as discrimination, violence, and abandonment, the characters who inhabit these pages find material for dreams and energy for humor, if only because they know that "the only real border is between the body and the soul."

Carlos Fuentes portrays the rift that has developed between the two countries over the past 200 years and examines it through the lens of discrimination, racism, and violence, but also through the lens of the resilience of Mexican life, which seems to survive all aggressions.
