      About This Book

      Ten interconnected stories set in a blue-collar town that captures the essence of Latino life in Southern California.

      With a cast of characters so vivid they seem to leap from the page, this collection of linked short stories offers a portrait of individuals aching to find their place in an indifferent world. The characters who inhabit these stories—teenagers, beauty queens, race car drivers, and even grandfathers—fall in love, strive to make ends meet, or search for answers to their future while reconciling the past. Michael Jaime-Becerra casts a warm glow on each of them.

      Praise for Every Night Is Ladies' Night
      "A realistic, humorous, and poignant story collection by a strong new voice in fiction, a writer who observes with great skill, leading him to portray ordinary scenes in the ongoing human drama thoroughly and realistically. . . . Jaime-Becerra is a wonderful storyteller, and this collection is quite simply a joy to read." —Booklist
      "The writing is fluid, the details brisk and vivid as newcomer Jaime-Becerra reveals his characters without judging them harshly. Learn Spanish in richly affecting narratives from a strong new talent." —Kirkus Reviews
