now you like magical realism

This is my favourite Mexican novel. I like that the magical realism in this is actually poetic and not cheesy.

>>10031892
Yes
Feels like a Datura trip

>>10031850
That's a damn great book

>>10031850
Can someone explain me this book? I didn't get it at all

>>10031850
Fuck, this brings me back. I must reread it.

Tell me about this book, I have never heard of it
Is it good in english?

It's like the Mexican Absalom, Absalom!.

>>10031850
>"¡Mataron a tu padre, Pedro!"
>Hubo un silencio estremecedor, desolador.
>"Y dime, ¿quién te mato a ti, madre?".
now this is elite tier writing, not that shit from Stephen Kings fanfics tier writing

its all about the story from Pedro Paramo, told by different people from Comala which were under his regime.
The magic in this is that all of them are dead, and its seems that is not like a ghost town (materialized) but is some sort of representation from the Limbo itself.

Why did Preciado die?

>>10033569
Lo espantaron.

Did anyone else think this book was very Lovecraftian?

>>10033655
Please, no.

>>10031850
One of my favorite books. I really love the chapters where "you" wake up as a kid who doesn't understands what s going on around him, but everything is nostalgic and kinesthetic.

The guy near the end who gets drunk killed Pedro? If so how? if not, why did people captured him?

>>10032699
Is it better in spanish?

>>10033675
Of course

>>10033655
Lol, no

>>10033674
>>10033694
How kafkaesque

>muh magical realism

Stop this meme. Rulfo was not a magic realist. Pedro Páramo is not a magical realism novel.

>>10032699
>It's like the Mexican Absalom, Absalom!.

Absalom, Absalom! is the gringo Pedro Páramo.

>>10033715
What is it then?

Not that anon, but in school we're taught it is some kind of proto-magical realism
