Muņoz, Manuel

What you see in the dark : a novel / by Manuel Muņoz - 1st ed. - Chapel Hill, N.C. : Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill , 2011 - 251 p. ; 22 cm.

Bakersfield, California, in the late 1950s is a dusty, quiet town too far from Los Angeles to share that city's energy yet close enough to Hollywood to fill its citizens with the kinds of dreams they discover in the darkness of the movie theater. For Teresa, a young, aspiring singer who works at a shoe store, dreams lie in the music her mother shared with her, plaintive songs of love and longing. In Dan Watson, the most desirable young man in Bakersfield, she believes she has found someone to help her realize those dreams. No one anticipates how the ill-fated love affair between Dan and Teresa will soon rival anything a director could ever put on the screen.
