About This Novel
"Latin American Literature Explosion" protagonist Carlos Fuentes' mature masterpiece in the late literary career perfectly demonstrates the writer's sophisticated writing techniques and vigorous creative power. The profound and sharp writing style adds a touch of spicy humor. The short story collection "Glass Border" was first published in 1995. It is a mature masterpiece in the late literary career of Mexican literary master Carlos Fuentes. Through nine short stories, the book vividly and vividly depicts the grievances and grievances between Mexico and the United States, neighbors far away from God and very close to each other, that have been formed over the course of two hundred years of historical evolution, as well as the emotional gap that is as invisible as glass but difficult to resolve. The work was published shortly after the North American Free Trade Agreement officially came into effect. At this time, the trade barriers between the United States and Mexico had weakened, but the emotional gap between the two peoples was still difficult to break. In the representative work "Glass Border", the protagonist Lisandro is a Mexican young man with a poor family. Mexico's economic crisis has wiped out his ambitions. On Christmas Eve of this year, Lisandro became a labor worker and crossed the US-Mexico border to clean the glass curtain walls of skyscrapers in New York City, where he met Audrey, a beautiful young American woman on the inside of the curtain wall. The two people standing on both sides of the glass curtain wall, looking at each other in silence, seem to have established an ironic community. A community in isolation, inviolable in their respective loneliness.
