What does /lit/ think of Magic Realism?
>>
I like it
100YOS is a great read
>>
Never fails to induce erections.

Luis Borges king of it
>>
>>8016875
I'm gonna challenge that and say, while Borges is the overall better writer, Italo Calvino is the best at magic realism.
>>
>>8016893
Only read Invisible Cities and If On A Winter's Night a Traveller, but I disagree completely. The latter was Borgesian idea (though not as exciting and profound) actually exercised (what Borges doesn't do and is cool), but definitely not Borges tier. I also think magic realist elements are much more present in Borges' stories than Calvino's.

>actually calling them magical realists
Holy fuck you're plebs.
They're fantasy writers

>fantasy writers
No, they are wizards.

>>8017091
They're both trash regardless.

What chapter of GoT are you currently on?
>>
>>8017102
I don't read it. I'm finishing up the third novel by Sábato. His second novel On heroes and tombs surpasses anything those two charlatans wrote. I'm also reading a novel by James Agee and Robert desnos. How does it feel to be a pleb with basic ass taste in literature?

>Sabato es buen escritor

Sabato escribe como un político. Sus libros estan escritos para la chusma como los de Orwell. No vas a convencer a nadie insinuando que un escritor de segundo plano como Sabato es mejor que un genio unánime como Borges. Hay una razón por la cual Borges es parte inseparable del canon mediante los escritores que mencionaste no.

No sabes ni mierda de literatura, perro.

Muchos años después, frente a pelotón de fusilamiento, anon habría de recordar aquella tarde en que posteo que Gabo y Borges eran Basura. Su pene era del tamaño de un maní en aquel momento y su cerebro era aún más pequeño.

Seriously, have them. I don't want them.

>>8017122

kek Los de Sabato y Borges son estilos completamente diferentes. No sé de dónde sacas que Sabato escribe como político, a menos que te refieras a la sobriedad de su estilo, pero incluso así su registro es sumamente poético.

Y el que digas "chusma" sin ironía demuestra tu poco gusto.

Perfecto.

>Borges and Calvino are too mainstream! I don't feel special for reading them anymore :( They're fucking shit now! SHIIIIT

There there, anon. At least you're still a good contrarian.

Qué piensan sobre novelas más modernas como aquellas de Isabel Allende? También tienen elementos de realismo mágico, y fueron los libros que atraparon mi interés hacia la literatura.
>>
>>8016893
Hmm...both excellent but I tip my hat to Borges as a better choice. Just picked up invisible cities this weekend ... In Italian.

Cortazar is another good choice
Newer benefactor of their earlier efforts I would include Rushdie

leete Laura Restrepo, depronto te gusta.

We all read The Tunnel, homo. Youre not a snowflake for reading Sabato.

>>8016710

It's fantasy, so I avoid it.

Just kill yourself already.

+10 points.

Fucking finally someone who sees fantasy as more than just elves.

Damn, proved my point.

García Márquez es un sobrevalorado, me parece infinitamente mejor Borges.
>>
>>8017163
Gabo y Borges son genios opuestos. Borges es el intelectual, genial por sus ideas. Garcia Marquez es extraordinario como narrador. Lo cual no quiere decir tampoco que Borges sea un mal narrador o Gabo un mediocre.
>>
>>8017534
No soy de los que odian a Allende, pero siempre me pareció una de esas escritoras que se subieron al carro de Gabo. La construcción de las frases, la temática, el estilo, es todo muy similar, pero, por supuesto, no es Garcia Marquez. No hay problema en tener influencias de tal o cual escritor, pero en el caso de Allende me parece más imitación que homenaje. Aunque es solo mi opinión personal.
>>
>>8017745
Creo que es un tema de gustos. Son completamente contrarios.
>>
>>8017831
Bueno, tal vez. Como dicen más arriba Borges es el intelectual y Gabo el narrador.

Borges amaba la biblioteca, en sus relatos encuentras infinidad de referencias a la literatura universal, le encantaban las paradojas espacio temporales.

Gabo si no estoy mal estudió un semestre de periodismo. Empezó como cronista en un diario y muchas de sus historias son inspiradas en los relatos de sus abuelos y en las vivencias en su pueblo natal Aracataca (la cual sería Macondo de cien años de soledad).

Sin embargo esto no quiere decir que los dos autores siguieran a rajatabla esto que acabó de mencionar. A Borges le he encontrado varios relatos de corte más psicológico e historias de forajidos

great, but marquez wasnt the best at it. he was great tho

Who's the best in your opinion?

Any other writers with Bolaño's style of Maical Realism. Yeah yeah I know he didnt write MR and he probably hated it, but there was always a hint of supernatural in his stories. like a very subtle, almost subdued magical realism. I need that shit. in español, plos.
