That's not a good book.

His short story collection Ellis Island is better.

Lol I had a Hispanic professor give us 3 essays on magical realism cause "we didn't understand it well enough"
Every literary source says his definition is wrong

White people also invented cuckold pornography.

I was disappointed cause i'm all for some "NYC is great" pro-american masturbatory shit. Ellis Island sounds like I'm about to get tricked again

The magical stuff is less nonsensical in Ellis Island. Some of the stories are just straight realism and some of the more tall tale ones could simply be unreliable narrator. And no flying horses in Ellis Island

Does it have anything to do with the Shakespeare play?

Does anyone get eaten by a bear?
