I just ordered this. I want to read magical realism.

>>8010468
That's not magical realism it's a language textbook

>>8010494
It teaches how to read magical realism.

>>8010499
magical realism is cheesy as fuck and embarrassing when not done right (almost always)

>>8010494

How the hell do you not understand that he's making a pretentious joke about magic realism being "Spanish for Dummies"

>>8010515

Curiously, can you give me an example of when you think Magic realism was done right?

PS: isn't everything cheesy and embarrassing if not done ri

I'm not sure I like Borges, perhaps because I've read him in russian. It feels like writings of a genius, but very young man, something a prodigy would do when he is thirteen. A lot of his short stories are an exploration of a concept or a theme, or perhaps just a pretty symbol, with the prose and narrative being filler, as if he had preffered not to include them but felt like he had to. That one very famous story about an infinite library is a glaring example.

I thought it was the translations meme

Translations are for beta baby bitch faggot boys, tovarich :)

Get raped and die, englishcucks who will never get to read amazing spanish literature because you're too busy memorizing Gravity's Rainbow.

Magical realism is sexy but why not just read it in english

Macedonio Fernández... y una larga serie de cuentistas. Aunque, Borges trata realmente de consolidar las formas oníricas de las Mil y Una Noches. Ahí está su estela, diría yo.

>>8009540
También la filosofía de Schopenhauer es una de las grandes formas básicas para la comprensión del trabajo de Borges.
