Marietta Merz

A young woman walks, walks, walks… always in search of the wondrous hidden in the everyday. When she at last enters a place of marvels just a step away from the mundane world, she discovers that the urge to keep searching is carrying her towards a climactic and extraordinary transmutation.

Part Alchemical fable, part celebration of the transformative power of the Imagination, ‘Marietta Merz’ weaves a spell that lingers long after the story ends.

Originally appearing as a key story in the highly acclaimed collection, High City Walk, ‘Marietta Merz’ is a limited edition pamphlet illustrated with original drawings.
