«The Tortilla Curtain» is T. Coraghessan Boyle's social critique novel, published by Raincoast Book Dist Ltd in paperback (288 pages, in English).
Delaney Mossbacher, a well-off Californian environmentalist, runs over Cándido Pérez, an undocumented Mexican immigrant, and carries on with his life as if nothing happened. Their fates cross in a California marked by inequality and racism, in a story that pits two worlds against each other and dismantles the American dream.

For reading groups and for those seeking contemporary fiction about inequality, immigration and racism.
