MCD x FSG Originals, 2022

Surreal and Satirical Tales from the Texas-Mexico Borderland "In this exuberantly strange story collection, Flores asks: Whose reality? What rules?" —Jean Chen Ho, The New York Times Book Review "These are marvelously unpredictable stories, anchored by Fernando A. Flores's deadpan prose and his surefooted navigation of those overlapping territories, the real and the fantastic, where so much of the best contemporary fiction now lives." —Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble Prepare to be captivated by the psychedelic and dazzling stories in Valleyesque, set in the cracks of the Texas-Mexico borderland. From an iconoclastic storyteller and the author of Tears of the Trufflepig, Fernando A. Flores reimagines the border region with peerless style, where the fantastical and the hyperreal collide. In this immersive, uncanny world, a dying Frédéric Chopin attempts to recover his seized piano in Ciudad Juárez, a woman becomes engulfed by a living used-clothing warehouse, and a young Lee Harvey Oswald embarks on a music career in Texas. Swinging between satire and surrealism, grief and joy, Valleyesque pushes boundaries with its unique tales. With the same visceral imagination that made his debut novel a cult classic, Flores brings his singular vision of the border to life in this collection that will captivate fans of contemporary literature, dark humor, and surreal and experimental fiction. With the visceral imagination that made his debut novel, Tears of the Trufflepig, a cult classic, Flores brings his vision of the border to life—and beyond.
