With a diverse set of characters and experiences, Juan Carlos Reyes's debut fiction collection examines the range of grief and healing we navigate as Americans. Reyes explores themes of immigration, identity, family legacy, sexuality, trauma, and what belonging means, as well as the cultural tensions between us that can be downright explosive.
By turns tragic and heartfelt, arresting and funny,
Three Alarm Fire
is a microcosm of modern life, and it introduces readers to an incisive new voice in contemporary fiction.
