Lina Meruane’s novel Fruta podrida (2007) narrates the social-economic situation of the Chilean post-dictatorship, affected by the violent neo-liberal politics. This paper aims to analyse the frontiers present in the book and how the characters face them, how they affect their lives and their bodies, following the categories of analysis proposed by Humberto Félix Berumen in Las fronteras en el centro. Ensayos sobre literatura (2005). According to Berumen, the notion of frontier becomes an important tool of literary analysis, therefore, it is necessary to read texts from this perspective, in order to study how frontiers can be incorporated into literary productions and how they can be transgressed in writing.
