	T. C. Boyle: Reviews of "Tortilla Curtain"
		Tortilla is also -- and primarily -- the story of Candido and Amrica Rincon, the man Pilgrim hits and his young wife, who are camping in the canyon.
		Boyle takes a look at both sides of the curtain, juxtaposing white xenophobia against the illegals' desire to work their asses off just to survive in a hostile environment; his characterization of the Rincons makes them very human, while the Mossbachers are saved from our contempt only because they fall so far beneath it.
		Boyle said the idea for The Tortilla Curtain came from "reading the L.A. Times every morning and looking at the way people deal with problems of illegal immigration." The characters were based on his day-to-day observations.
