40 Unmissable Magical Realism Reads - Page 2

"Kafka's Metamorphosis. Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. Carter's Nights at the Circus - there's no denying that fiction of a magic realist bent is among the finest of the modern era. But creating credible, impactful magic realism - the melding of real-world settings and characters with mythic, magical or fantastical elements, is no mean feat. Making magic believable - making magic make sense in a real world - requires a conjuror's verve and skill." - J. Owen, lovereading.co.uk
