The settings aren't necessarily more intimate to those with knowledge of Japanese settings and culture (though just like most realism fiction understanding the cultural context adds greater depth to the reading), but just like Marquez there is the same sense of universal relatability in the human experience that the reader may find in his different books!

Some of his novels are magical realism, but some of them aren't. (At least according to my interpretation of the term.) Sometimes he just does regular Realist fiction, but my favorites of his books (like Wind Up Bird Chronicle and 1Q84) are definitely full-on in the magical realism vein. He's arguably the most famous contemporary/currently active representative of the genre/movement, at least in Anglophone countries (except maybe Thomas Pynchon, but it's hard to say if he's still "currently active" or not) so I was expecting him to get mentioned, too. No big deal, but yes, anyone who likes magical realism but hasn't read any Murakami should definitely check him out.

I feel like magical realism is an honest reflection of the living memory. the process of remembering instills magic into the past, with fantastical leaps of logic, and crushing emotional weight. I feel like "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman rides a line that places it firmly in magical realism. The main character is an unreliable narrator in his mid-life, in the throws of grief, recalling a half forgotten time in his childhood. the simultaneous conviction and confusion in both the "real" adult grief and the "imagined" childhood adventure lends to the idea that the real and unreal are as powerful and true as eachother. the main character is constantly pointing to how nothing has changed and nothing is the way he remembers it. but through it all, despite the status as unreliable narrator, he remains utterly honest. the unreliability is sourced in the status of faithful and skeptic. the honesty is sourced in the way he checks his work constantly and trys to rationalize the fantastic. but the conclusion is that some mystery will always be unknown, and that the remembering makes it real.

As a Mexican who got a degree in literature, specifically by a thesis on the fantastic, it's been for a while now a running joke that gringos call Magical Realism anything that is written on Latin America. I understand, it's pretty difficult to mark and differentiate between Magical Realism, Marvelous Real, Surrealism, the Fantastic (classical, modern and postmodern) and Fantasy and Fairy Tale. But each of those have their own characteristics, and have been worked around by a multitude of Latin American authors, creating the need for all those terms, both old and new, to be able to explain better the literary mechanisms being used. Returning to the point at the beginning of this comment. I have seen people saying that the reason why in Latin America there are so many terms to explain these differences is because of the great use all of the _fantastical_ and _impossible_ things in Latin American fiction (like Lindsay said) and why, while being seen from the exterior, the English speaking academy encompasses all of it under the banner of "magical realism". Of course, other authors in different parts of the globe also write using fantastical elements, so I don't think that it is an exclusively Latin American technique, but I think the great many number of Latin American authors that work these variations have created the need to explain the literature in great detail, and the separation between the aforementioned terms.

I cannot thank you enough for this post! I am so tired of seeing the term bandied about every time some character steps into the kitchen! I tell people "'Like Water for Chocolate', yes.

Just one thing I think is important is that in Latin America we often use two last names (paternal and maternal), so his first last name is García, second Márquez (pronounced MÁR-quez), that's why everyone refers to him as García Márquez (probably because García is a very common surname all across the Americas).

@@fernandoerbin6751 interesting, I have lived in and/or worked with people in Central and South America and the Caribbean and they all have use two last officially/legally. On an everyday basis, people do only use one though. Maybe that is what you're referring to?

It absolutely does apply to most of Latin America with the exception of Argentina where people generally only have one legal last name. Throughout the majority of Latin American countries, from Mexico and Central America to the Caribbean and most of South America, people have two last names: a paternal last name from their fathers and a maternal last name from their mothers. Most of the time, people will use their first last name and wives have traditionally used their husband’s paternal last name as well, even though they don’t legally change their last name to his. Can you give examples of other places in Latin America (other than Argentina) where people don’t have two last names?

Only clicked for Lindsay Ellis. However, now that we're here I can't express how incredibly proud I feel when someone talks about the importance of our history into what made Gabo's book what it is, and what it became.
