LONE STAR LIT FICTION SPOTLIGHT

Valley of Shadows by Rudy Ruiz
SpotLIGHT Literary Lonestar Ad - Rudy Ruiz

Rudy Ruiz's Valley of Shadows (Blackstone Publishing) is the Texas Institute of Letters 2023 Best Book of Fiction Award Winner and was long-listed for the 2023 Reading the West Book Awards, sponsored by the Mountains and Plains Independent Booksellers Association. With its many accolades, Valley of Shadows sheds light on the dark past of injustice, isolation, and suffering along the U.S.-Mexico border. Publisher's Weekly says, "Ruiz employs elements of magical realism to haunting effect, and the depictions of human cruelty and injustice are unflinching...This has its rewards."
