Maldito & the Tourists

by Gervasio Arrancado

Overview

Maldito develops his artistic talents
and encounters tourists who are more than they seem. At a young age, actually before Maldito escapes his home, he spends most of his time on the streets of Agua Rocosa, sketching the buildings and tourists there. He also sketches things others are simply not able to capture on paper: the wind lost among rocks on a hillside, the joy in the bright smile of the sun, the sorrow weeping from a heavily laden rain cloud. If you've enjoyed the works of Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende, you'll enjoy these Stories from the Cantina.

About the Author

Gervasio Arrancado (the magic-realism writing persona of Harvey Stanbrough) was born in a small shack in Mexico and raised in the orphanage at Agua Idelfonso, several kilometers, give or take a few, from the fictional fishing village of Agua Rocosa. He is fortunate to have made the acquaintance of Augustus McCrae, Hub and Garth McCann, El Mariachi, Forest Gump, The Bride (Black Mamba), Agents J and K, a very old man with enormous wings, Juan-Carlos Salazár, Maldito, the chupacabra and several other notables. The most interesting man in America is his third cousin, twice removed. Gervasio visits regularly with his friend Nick Porter, whom he fondly calls Paco (nobody knows why, but we’re all certain he has his reasons), and with Juan-Carlos Salazár, whom he calls his colaborador in all things literary. To this day he lives and writes at that place on the horizon where reality just folds into imagination.
