Brief description:
Alberto Yáñez lives in Portland, Oregon. His work has appeared in Strange Horizons, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Toasted Cake, and PodCastle. He is a graduate of Clarion West, and was awarded a 2018 Oregon Literary Fellowship. Alberto went to Portland to become a registered nurse, and has since learned more about people, bodily fluids, and himself than anticipated. He draws on his Mexican and Jewish roots to inform "Burn the Ships." A native Californian, he misses easy sunshine, San Francisco, Chinese delivery, and other Mexicans.
Review Quotes: "This book's wide range of stories is its greatest strength; though no reader will love them all, every reader will find something worth rereading." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
