In My Grandmother Tells Me This Story, narrator Raya reveals secrets about a life full of regret and violence to a granddaughter that, she says, should not be digging around in uncomfortable truths, while in the story that immediately follows, “The Quietest Man”, protagonist Tomas also finds himself brought face-to-face with uncomfortable truths about himself and about his past. Unlike Raya, however, he doesn’t admit those truths: instead, he takes refuge in lies that, he says, will help his troubled daughter come to terms with herself, but which in fact lead that daughter to a false impression of her father that will only benefit her, not him.
