In his case, we catch a glimpse of the Argentinian-Canadian borderland, where (often racist) media stereotypes clash with and distort lived reality.We've used this one in intro. literature classes, and it's always a huge hit with students--accessible, clever, entertaining, highly thought-provoking, and a quick read.
