The Man of Mud

by Gervasio Arrancado

Overview

And on that strange day, a Man of Mud
rose up from the plain north of the village....
Finally the Storyteller relates the story of the Man of Mud. The Storyteller, Juan-Carlos Salazár, witnessed the birth of the man of mud when he was seven years old. He didn't know at the time that he was witnessing the beginning of the fulfillment of an ancient Mayan prophecy. Now, some forty years later, he understands what the man of mud meant when he uttered the words "one wrongly called accursed will come." Come along and witness the fulfillment of ancient prophecy. 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.
