My Heart Has More Rooms Than a Whorehouse

THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ONLY AND WILL BE RELEASED ON 09 FEBRUARY 2027.

From the breakout award-winning author of Malas, a series of linked stories following the members of a big Mexican American family exploring the pressure points of familial obligations and the complexities of love.

From the author of Malas comes a linked short story collection that centers the challenges of family, with characters constantly trying to navigate a web of allegiances and seeking breathing space for themselves. A young boy from the barrio settles a wager his dead father made with a rich man. A sister tries to make sense of her brother's career as a bull rider. A group of kids searches for the bogeyman haunting their grandmother's house. A suburban wife aches to understand her volatile husband.

All these individuals' dreams, desires, and fears swirl together to form a portrait of what it means to be family - one that's imperfect and difficult but truer to life than any one perspective could be.
