Synopsis
Using an imaginary glass wall, Carlos Fuentes creates a lens through which he examines the violence, discrimination and racism suffered by Mexican immigrants crossing the border into the US in a quest for a better life. In these nine stories that deal with the separation between Mexico and the Unites States, Fuentes is able to find humor even amongst the tumbling ruins of an immigrant's dream., Esta novela está conformada por nueve cuentos en los que Fuentes muestra la separación entre México y Estados Unidos en el lapso de doscientos años; esta ruptura es vista desde el cristal del racismo, la discriminación, el rencor, el sufrimiento, la desesperanza, la violencia y el desamparo que han padecido los mexicanos al atravesar la línea fronteriza, pero también 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 también el lugar donde las líneas no son divisibles ni divisables, pues los sueños se desvanecen ante la voraz realidad que sobrepasa al mexicano.
