This is the first English-language collection of short stories by award-winning Peruvian author Edgardo Rivera Martínez. The stories in Marayrasu stage fantastical, mysterious encounters that belie the characters’ often harsh economic and political realities as they seek belonging in modern Peru through art, music, and relationships. Depicted in poetic prose, these characters are loners, orphans, and outcasts experiencing quiet, tender encounters with other people and animals, the creative arts, and the land they find themselves depending on. The cover illustration is modeled on a figure from a Peruvian textile. The main title is custom lettering (working from Graphik Condensed).
