The Consequences : Stories
Munoz, Manuel
Shimmering writing depicting California’s Central Valley, the first book
in a decade from a virtuoso story writer. These exquisite stories are
mostly set in the 1980s in the small towns that surround Fresno. With
an unflinching hand, Munoz depicts the Mexican and Mexican American
farmworkers who put food on our tables but were regularly and ruthlessly
rounded up by the migra, as well as the quotidian struggles and immense
challenges faced by their families.
The messy and sometimes
violent realities navigated by his characters-straight and gay,
immigrant and American-born, young and old-are tempered by moments of
surprising, tender care: Two young women meet on a bus to Los Angeles to
retrieve the men they love who must find their way back from the border
after being deported; a gay couple plans a housewarming party that
reveals buried class tensions; a teenage mother slips out to a carnival
where she encounters the father of her child; the foreman of a crew of
fruit pickers finds a dead body and is subsequently-perhaps literally-
haunted. In The Consequences, obligation can shape, support, and
sometimes derail us. It’s a magnificent new book from a gifted writer at
the height of his powers.
