OK KID

Borges can definitely qualify as SF in many of his stories. I haven't read the others

Dude ghosts lmao

To be fair all of those writers deviate so far from the SF/F norm that it would almost be misleading to classify them that way. I feel like "magical realism" is a less pretentious way to say abstract/experimental literary fiction. Tho it is true many of those writers could be correctly classified under science fiction or fantasy if we disregarded their relation to the existing works of the genres and based it only on the genre description and maybe SF/F would be better off if its regulars were exposed to these better examples of it.

i am sorry

Magical realism borders surrealism, that's why it is better.
Russian literature has a lot of this staff since Harms and till modern times. See "Moscow to the End of the Line", for example.

Just call it speculative fiction.

But then there'll be no magic!

My ex used to describe everything as 'magical' when she was at loss for words. Magical sunset, magical weather, magical song, magical souffle, magical movie, magical candy, magical anal sex, magical life, magical electricity bills, magical breakup, magical AIDS.

Needless to say i've developed a hatred for the word and yet i fucking miss her. Fuck Saturday nights and magical realism.

What a useless-sounding cunt.

You sound bitter.

Calvino literally wrote like 50 scifi stories.

I read 40k.

I guess you do too, or you wouldn't mention it.

What is Veeky Forums's enthusiasm for the show to Catch a Predator? Trump supporters also seem to gravitate towards it for some reason. Somehow Veeky Forums, Donald Trump, and to Catch a Predator all seem to go together.

It's a meme show on /tv/
