When you meet Mavis on the pages of Rag Doll you will be amazed at the loneliness and insecurity of a child whose every wish is fulfilled by adoring wealthy parents. She knows that she has been adopted, but that is not the problem. Her greatest anxiety is caused by her fear of being alone. This novelette concerns Mavis, her problems and their happy solutions. The other short stories deal with people in unusual situations, either humorous or sad, and the means that they employ to adjust to them. Short and pithy, these tales will have you empathizing with the characters, be it Sly Fox who wants a holiday dinner just like his mother used to make, or Gloria who has decided to leave her husband. These and the rest of the narratives will either tickle your funny bone or touch your heart strings.

Book Description
A mysterious plague is decimating the population of colonial Mexico. One of His MajestyÍs highest physicians is dispatched from Spain to bring the latest advances in medical science to the backward peoples of the New World capital. Here begins the cyclical tale of man battling the unknown, of science confronting the eternally indifferent forces of nature. Morales takes us on a trip through ancient and future civilizations, through exotic but all-too-familiar cultures, to a final confrontation with our own ethics and world views. In later chapters, the colonial physician finds his successors as they once again engage in life or death struggles, attempting to balance their own hopes, desires and loves with the good society and the state. Book II of the novel takes place in modern-day southern California, and Book III in a futuristic technocratic confederation known as Lamex. In the tradition of Latin American born novelist, Alejandro Morales is one of the finest representatives of magic realism in the English language. In The Rag Doll Plagues, Morales creates a many layered fictional world, taking us on an entertaining and thought-provoking safari thorough lands, times, peoples and ideas never before encountered or presented in this manner. But ultimately, this valuable trip leads to a reacquaintance with our own society and its moral vision.
