What are some good "magical realism" books that are Veeky Forums approved? Classic or contemporary, this is a genre I really want to read more of.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_realism

A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings by Marquez is a good one imho

>A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings by Marquez is a good one imho
Not a novel though.

Gogol

Garcia Marquez and Allende, as it says
Borges for proto-magreal

Midnight's Children

I'll have to chime in with Fowle's The Magus.

dont read Isabel Allende

Read 100 years of Solitude by Garcia Marquez, and Pedro Paramo by Rulfo.

Borges want a magic realism writer, that wikipedia article is wrong.

AVOID ISABEL ALLENDE

Why?

cortazar - bestiario

The Swan Book - Alexis Wright

Borges may be a bit more on the fantastic end of magical realism, but I still think he qualifies as such – why do you object it?

The Obscene Bird of Night by José Donoso

Heliopolis, Gläserne Bienen, Eumeswill and Auf den Mamorklippen by Ernst Jünger

Yeah why?
I really don´t know anything about her aside from having sold a lot of books. Is she that bad?

100 years and Pedro Paramo are probably the pinnacles of magical realism. Highly recommended

Little, Big by John Crowley

Murakami ofc

Salman Rushdie is among my favourite writers. For an introduction, Midnights Children is somewhat large compared to some of the others recommended on this list, but is a fantastic read, though I don't think it's quite as good as some of his later works.

The Kingdom of this World by Alejo Carpentier

Just finished Beloved. It blends magical realism with the gothic in a US slave narrative. It was okay.
