Now you like magical realism

now you like magical realism

This is my favourite Mexican novel. I like that the magical realism in this is actually poetic and not cheesy.

Yes
Feels like a Datura trip

That's a damn great book

Can someone explain me this book? I didn't get it at all

Fuck, this brings me back. I must reread it.

Tell me about this book, I have never heard of it
Is it good in english?

It's like the Mexican Absalom, Absalom!.

>"¡Mataron a tu padre, Pedro!"
>Hubo un silencio estremecedor, desolador.
>"Y dime, ¿quién te mato a ti, madre?".
now this is elite tier writing, not that shit from Stephen Kings fanfics tier writing

its all about the story from Pedro Paramo, told by different people from Comala which were under his regime.
The magic in this is that all of them are dead, and its seems that is not like a ghost town (materialized) but is some sort of representation from the Limbo itself.

(you)

Why did Preciado die?

Lo espantaron.

Did anyone else think this book was very Lovecraftian?

Please, no.

One of my favorite books. I really love the chapters where "you" wake up as a kid who doesn't understands what s going on around him, but everything is nostalgic and kinesthetic.

The guy near the end who gets drunk killed Pedro? If so how? if not, why did people captured him?

Is it better in spanish?

Of course

Lol, no

How kafkaesque

>muh magical realism

Stop this meme. Rulfo was not a magic realist. Pedro Páramo is not a magical realism novel.

>It's like the Mexican Absalom, Absalom!.

Absalom, Absalom! is the gringo Pedro Páramo.

What is it then?

Not that user, but in school we're taught it is some kind of proto-magical realism
