Sobre este artículo
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1997. First American edition. Hardcover. vg. Octavo (8 1/2 x 6"). [6], 266pp. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over black and grey paper covered boards, and glowing blue lettering on spine and front cover. Title page inscribed and signed by the author.
"The Crystal Border" is a series of short stories which explores relationships between people of Mexico and the United States. There are many connections between the stories, such as characters that appear in multiple stories (the most prominent of which is the wealthy Mexican businessman, Leonardo Barroso).
A major, recurring theme in the text is that large parts of the USA were once part of Mexico, all the way from California to Texas, and so the Mexican people feel a special connection with that area. Another important idea is that both countries depend on each other for trade and culture, and many people divide their time and their lives between both sides of the border." (From the Publishers).
Dust-jacket, binding and interior in very good condition.
