Shimmering stories set in California's Central Valley, the first book in a decade from a virtuoso story writer. In it, Delfina has moved from Texas to California's Central Valley with her husband and small son, and her isolation and desperation force her to take a risk that ends in profound betrayal.These exquisite stories are mostly set in the 1980s in the small towns that surround Fresno. "Her immediate concern was money." So begins the first story in Manuel Muoz's dazzling new collection.
The messy and sometimes violent realities navigated by his characters--straight and gay, immigrant and American-born, young and With an unflinching hand, Muoz depicts the Mexican and Mexican American farmworkers who put food on our tables but are regularly and ruthlessly rounded up by the migra, as well as the quotidian struggles and immense challenges faced by their families.
