Owing to the great demographic changes that are now taking place in the world, Czech literature and border literature have recently become the focus of many studies. This is precisely due to the endless number of Latinos immigrating to the US for many reasons; either they might immigrate for political reasons, or for social reasons such as the desire to improve their standard of living, believing that the US is the dreamland where all problems are solved. This phenomenon has affected both societies, the homeland of immigrants and their recipient as well as the literature written by both of them. Accordingly, we cannot address the issue of Latin immigration to the US without presenting these two types of literature (Czech and border literature). Hence, this paper is aimed at studying this type of literature and the characteristics it displays that make it apt to belong to both Czech and border literature. The paper also presents the origin and reasons for naming both Czech literature and border literature, the distinguishing features of each, how each type originated, where and when it appeared, and identifying the differences between them. To do so, the two novels. Eduardo González Viaña’s Dante’s Ballad and Carlos Fuentes’s The Crystal Frontier have been chosen as models.
