Carlos Fuentes examina la separaci???n entre M???xico y Estados Unidos con el cristal de la discriminaci???n, el racismo, la violencia, pero tambi???n 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 ???ngulos posibles en una historia, con una variante insospechada: la comicidad. Esta es una novela relatada a trav???s de nueve cuentos que transcurren, de un lado y del otro, en las proximidades de la raya fronteriza entre M???xico y Estados Unidos. M???s all??? de lo inevitable, que suele presentarse en forma de discriminaci???n, violencia y desamparo, los personajes que habitan estas p???ginas encuentran material para los sue???os y energ???a para el humor, as??? sea tan s???lo porque saben que "la ???nica frontera real est??? entre el cuerpo y el alma". Carlos Fuentes reproduce la separaci???n que se ha dado entre ambos pa???ses a lo largo de 200 a???os y la examina con el cristal de la discriminaci???n, el racismo, la violencia, pero tambi???n la fuerza de la vida mexicana, que parece sobrevivir a todas las agresiones. La cr???tica ha opinado: "A fuerza de contarnos, Carlos Fuentes nos vuelve indispensables y gracias a ???l 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.
