Maribel Garcia is a Mexican-born, naturalized American Latinx citizen who addresses bicultural themes in both her theoretical work and her fiction. Her stories concentrate on the ways that race, class, gender and sexuality intersect with family relationships, loss, forgiveness and self-discovery. Her debut novel Profound and Perfect Things (May 2019) was published this past spring by She Writes Press. Book Riot called it an “explosive debut” and listed it in their piece, “Latina Authors from the Texas-Mexico Border You Should Know.” The novel was also recently featured in a piece in Texas Monthly, “Reinventing the Canon: Why It’s More Important Than Ever to Read Latinx Literature.” Garcia earned her Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin, in the ethnographic study of Mexican American women living on the US/Mexico border and her BA from Bryn Mawr College. She is also co-founder of Book Club Babble (a book review website), where she serves as managing editor.
