Description
Maria, Maria & Other Stories by Marytza K Rubio is a collection of enchanting tales that shatter boundaries and conjure the mystical. Born from wild creatures, tarot, and the blurred lines between life and death, these stories weave together love, grief, and the power of magic. In this fiercely imaginative debut, Rubio brings to life a cast of characters who negotiate with nature to shape their destinies. From the enigmatic community college professor in "Brujería for Beginners" to the sisters in "Moksha," each story is driven by a deep understanding of the human condition and the natural world. At its heart lies the titular novella, "Maria, Maria," a family drama set in a reimagined California rainforest that explores the legacies of three Marias. With sharp wit and ferocious female intuition, Rubio's stories bubble over with a unique blend of magic, mystery, and subversive charm.
