T.C. Boyle’s The Tortilla Curtain is Santa Ana College’s 2013 book of the year.

“We chose it because of its importance and readability,” Librarian Yolanda Garcia said.

campus art exhibits.

The Tortilla Curtain follows a clash of cultures between a middle class Caucasian family and a poor Mexican family

living in California.
