Got a few volumes of Saramago I haven't finished either. Is Calvino a magical realist? Anyhow, I loved "If on a winter's night a traveler."
@matthunte I think magic realism is term that obscures more than it illuminates. Better to think about Fantastika

@matthunte Interesting. Not untrue but I think more broadly Fantastika is always about political critique (left or right). - Show replies
