The story covers the themes of illegal immigration, middle-class values, xenophobia, poverty, and environmental destruction, etc. Out of the twelve novels which T. C. Boyle has written, “The Tortilla Curtain” is the most memorable work.
When the novel was first released, the issue of illegal immigration was in the public limelight. The author’s publication of the novel was not a coincidence, for he had already decided to publish it during that period and he did want to highlight this burning issue through his work.
