Rebecca Hirsch Garcia

Other Evolutions may be Rebecca Hirsch Garcia’s debut novel, but this isn’t her first rodeo. I sat down with Garcia for a virtual interview to discuss the novel.

The finalists for the 2024 Ottawa Book Awards were announced Sept. 17, and I can’t wait to read their books!

With her debut collection, The Girl Who Cried Diamonds & Other Stories, Ottawa’s Rebecca Hirsch Garcia shows us parts of humanity we don’t want to acknowledge: the visceral parts, the complicated parts. Hers is a book for lovers of dark fiction and harsher truths.
