Boyle Message Board Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Tortilla Curtain Delaney Mossbacher is a wealthy, conscientious liberal on his way to the recycling center when he hits a pedestrian with his car as he's driving in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

The man hit is Candido Rincon, a poor, illegal immigrant from Mexico. Feeling guilty, Delaney gives Candido twenty dollars to compensate for his injuries, and the two men go their separate ways. Yet with the accident, Delaney and Candido's lives become woven together for the rest of the novel. Candido and America (his young, pregnant wife) are camping out at the bottom of Topanga canyon. They try to find temporary jobs at a local work exchange, where white men drive through in pickups and ask for laborers. The work is dangerous, low-paying and hard to get, and the two struggle just to survive, hoping to one day save enough money for an apartment. Meanwhile Delaney and his wife Kyra are living a sheltered existence in a gated community at the top of the canyon. Kyra is a real-estate agent and Delaney is a nature writer. They sell houses, write, cook gourmet meals and shuttle their son back and forth from school. They like to think of themselves as being good people. As the novel goes on, however, the Mossbachers begin to show their true characters.

Delaney especially is threatened by the Mexicans who are moving to L.A. looking for work. He grows more and more paranoid and xenophobic, drops his liberal posturing and starts acting in all the reactionary ways he never thought himself capable of. This attitude forces the conclusion of the novel, with Delaney coming after Candido and America, some kind of confused revenge in his heart.

I liked this book a lot.......until I started reaching the end. So there goes a star. I disliked the end because not one calamity but eight follow one after another! You lose touch with reality. Sure, each of these things could have happened but probably not all of them.

I stopped by my local library and started scanning the shelves for a book with an orange cover that would qualify for a Rainbow Challenge that I am participating in. This book looked intriguing with the great cover and story centered around illegal immigrants in California, a topic I have never read about before. I'm afraid the cover was the best part of the book. Between the inconsistencies, stating one thing, then a few paragraphs later something that didn't jive, the drab characters, drama th I may have said this before, but I find that with a lot of what I consider literary books (which by my personal definition) are books with a message, ones that are discussed in classes, book clubs, that sort of thing rather than just fun reads), the ending it what will determine if the rest of the buildup was all worthwhile. Here, it was nice, but I would have preferred it to be different.We are Mount St. Mary’s students taking YOU behind The Tortilla Curtain.
