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.
