Join us for a deep dive into a popular book genre including essential themes, where to start, authors to know, hot and upcoming titles, recommended resources and more! Registration is required.

Primarily associated with Latin American fiction, magical realism as a literary genre refers to stories set in seemingly realistic settings with fantastical elements that are treated as part of the characters' reality, rather than something that is otherworldly or fantastical. In this program we'll explore this subgenre of literary fiction and how it differs from fantasy fiction, talk about prominent authors of the genre and its Latin American origins, offer some recommendations and upcoming titles to watch for and more.
