Night at the Fiestas (2015) established Kirstin Valdez Quade as a major voice in American short fiction. The stories are set primarily in New Mexico’s Hispanic communities, dealing with the intersection of Catholic faith, family loyalty, and personal desire. Quade’s characters are often caught between what they owe their families and what they want for themselves.

The collection won the John Leonard Prize for best debut from the National Book Critics Circle. The stories are carefully constructed and emotionally precise, with Quade finding drama in everyday situations: a teenager working a summer job, a woman caring for her elderly employer, a family preparing for a religious festival.
