*** MAGICAL REALISM ***

.

Hello, fellow bookaneers! : )





I'm in the middle of answering questions sent to me by the custodians of a literary website (an author's life isn't all fun and games, you know). And they have asked for my interpretation of the magical realism genre.

As so many readers lump magical realism in with fantasy, I thought I'd reprise my answer here...

"Writers of magical realism strive to depict our real world in a credible way, occasionally adding implausible events and magical elements in a matter-of-fact fashion, as if these anomalies have every right to be there.
The characters' personalities and dialogue are often deliberately exaggerated or flamboyant; poetic descriptive imagery is a must, and the storylines should speak to the reader's soul."


That's my interpretation anyway. : )

But I will allow Sir Salman Rushdie to have the final say on the matter...

*The Minotaur's Son'* (and other wild tales)

.
I am completely blown away by, and grateful for, Tri's beautiful artwork depicting a moonlit scene from 'The Siren's Call' —the opening tale in 'The Minotaur's Son' anthology of short stories. 😻
