I need lit nerds to help me find magical realism books. Im a slut for the genre but books are never sorted like that in stores so they are difficult to find

Magical realism is a fiction genre in which magical elements blend to create a realistic atmosphere that accesses a deeper understanding of reality. The story explains these magical elements as normal occurrences, presented in a straightforward manner that places the "real" and the "fantastic" in the same stream of thought.

I tend to write "magic realism" then. To me its all fiction and genres like this are retarded concepts to divide fiction into sellable categories.

Any who people you should read: Borges, Marquez, Calvino, Rushdie, Murakami, Bulgakov, and to a lesser extent Pynchon, Jim Dodge, Kipling and Morrison

The novels of Miguel Ángel Asturias are one of the first clearly distinguishable works of Magical Realism as a genre of it's own, El Señor Presidente is a great book for getting the whole concept. Really good book. It even got a Nobel, not that it means much these days, though.
