Isabel Allende's THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS didn't just build upon the magic realism established by García Márquez's ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE. Allende's 1982 novel (published in Spain, not her native Chile for political reasons) was immensely popular with Americans when it was published in English in 1985. Indulge in a reminder of these absolute masterpieces while learning more about how they relate to one another, more about magic realism in general, and how the historical-political situations in Colombia and Chile influenced both works. Kimberly had SO much fun with this. Join in now.

John Brown was a winner published in Writers of the Future Volume 13 with his story “The Scent of Desire” under his penname Bo Griffin. I met up with him again last year at LTUE and when I saw he would be back, I asked that he send me a book to read so I could have him on as a guest. His bio says he writes action-packed thrillers and epic fantasies with characters you want to cheer for. After interviewing him, I discovered it is Magic Realism that he writes. He currently lives with his wife and four daughters in the hinterlands of Utah where one encounters much fresh air, many good-hearted ranchers, and the occasional wolf.

Harris County Attorney's Office LGBT issues -- Gay artist Gray Foy -- Andrew  Edmonson Honorary Grand MarshalWe speak with Roxanne Werner, director of communications Harris County Attorney, about the challenges facing LGBT residents of Harris County coming from the Texas legislature.  As the Harris County Attorney, Christian D. Menefee is the chief civil lawyer for the largest county in Texas. He manages an office of 250+ attorneys and staff who represent the county, its 60 elected officials, and its 18,000+ employees in all civil matters and lawsuits. Elected at 32 years old, he is the youngest person and the first African-American to serve as Harris County Attorney.Guest: Roxanne Wernerhttps://cao.harriscountytx.gov/Then we speak with Kirsten Marples, curator of the Menil Drawing Institute, about the work gay Texas artist Gray Fox.  Between the 1940s and 1970s, American artist Gray Foy (1922–2012) created a body of extraordinarily meticulous drawings, most often rendered in graphite on paper. This exhibition celebrates two recent gifts that have made the Menil Collection the foremost repository of Foy's work. Intrigued by Surrealism and Magic Realism as a young artist, Foy characterized his artistic method as “hyper-realism.” His exacting technique—which required intense concentration and even months to complete a single drawing—rewards sustained looking. The exhibition spans the entirety of Foy's career, from his early Surrealist compositions to his later inventive botanical and geological renderings. Also included are a selection of the artist's commercial illustrations, which will be displayed publicly for the first time. Hyperreal: Gray Foy is curated by Kirsten Marples, Curatorial Associate, Menil Drawing Institute.Guest: Kirsten Marpleshttps://www.menil.org/exhibitions/367-hyperreal-gray-foyFinally, we speak with Andrew Edmonson about his being named as the 2023 Honorary Grand Marshal.  Andrew Edmonson has fought for the civil rights of LBGTQ Texans, against anti-gay violence, and championed the rights of people living with HIV. He's reported for OutSmart Magazine and the Houston Chronicle, covering key issues impacting the LGBTQ community.Guest: Andrew Edmonsonhttps://www.outsmartmagazine.com/2023/06/pride-houston-365-announces-2023-grand-marshals/

There is an old saying, “Dead men tell no tales”.But how wonderful and useful it would be if we could follow a conversation into the afterlife? And what more wonderful than if you wrote about it and then won the Booker Prize for your efforts? Is this the stuff from which dreams are made?Clearly true if you consider my guest today, Shehan Karunatilaka, winner of the The Booker Prize 2022.In Shehan's novel, The Seven Moons Of Maali Almeida, the main protagonist is dead but the character is alive. The novel—set in a terrible patch of Sri Lankan history between 1983 and 1990—is the story of a photojournalist who dies. In the afterlife, he finds himself in the "In-between"—a state between "Down There" which is life on earth and "The Light"—and where that is, is revealed at the end of the book.The protagonist is confronted by—of all things—a bureaucracy in the afterlife and he is told he has a week, or seven moons, to find out how he died if he wanted to make it to The Light.The novel touches the reader in many ways. Not the least to wonder what happens if we were indeed to find bureaucracy in the afterlife. Even the disappointment that visits us upon such a proposition is not rational. Yet…Shehan uses the second person as a literary device. Literary fiction written in the second-person is rare. This style is unusual because the narrator tells the story to the reader using the personal pronoun "you." The perspective suggests that the reader is the protagonist.Shehan Karunatilaka's prose is compelling…gripping, even. The turns of phrase and word come together like play dough in what seems to be an absently crafted sculpture.Intelligent prose is never without its humour and Shehan's prose has a river of funny as its undercurrent.He defines a queue in Sri Lanka as “…an amorphous curve with multiple entry points.” (Clearly, a south Asian malaise.)"The afterlife is a tax office and everyone wants a rebate.""You drift among the broken people with blood on their breath."All this and you are still on Page 10.But humour is peppered through the entire narrative and some of it is recognisable to typical snarky South Indian humour. This on page 135: ”...frilly shirt tailored by a blind man”.In the context though, the humour is a noir humour that characterises places in the world that are in strife—such as Ireland, parts of the Middle East and Shehan's home country, Sri Lanka.I really cannot wait to ask him about all this.At the time of this recording, Shehan has just won the Booker Prize, a little over a week ago. I know that the entire world's media waits to talk to him and so, I am particularly happy that he chose to spend this time with me.ABOUT SHEHAN KARUNATILAKAShehan Karunatilaka is a Sri Lankan writer whose first book, Chinaman, won the Commonwealth Book Prize, the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature and the Gratiaen Prize, and was shortlisted for the Shakti Bhatt First Book Prize. Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is his second book, it won the Booker Prize 2022.Buy The Seven Moons Of Maali Almeida: https://amzn.to/3gUhnDwWHAT'S THAT WORD?!Co-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in "What's That Word?!",  where they discuss the interesting origins of the phrase, "DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES" WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?Reach us by mail: theliterarycity@explocity.com or simply, tlc@explocity.com.Or here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theliterarycityOr here:  https://www.instagram.com/explocityblr/

On today's episode of Gaybros Dive into Quiet Beauty through Magic Realism (and some other pompousness), we talk about Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018) by Bi Gan

In this episode we spoke with Dr Zach Bush, a doctor who epitomizes what a new health narrative could be and a researcher who breaks with scientific boundaries. We spoke about Magic Realism and why it might be one of the best ways to understand what life is and how reality works. We spoke about the power of language to create reality and how the English language might have limits in portraying and creating a reality that goes beyond its physical realm. The medical paradigm of our time must stop fearing death and must stop fearing pain. Our individual and collective wounds are the paths to understand the spiritual disconnect that is engulfing us in a vortex of dysfunctional energy, at the organ and planetary levels. Going back to the future might mean that we let go of the need to heal things and manifest a higher state of being. Dr. Zach Bush is a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. He is an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems. He founded the Seraphic Group and the nonprofit Farmer's Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health. He is a poet, business man, father, philosopher, clinician and social advocate at the same time. Registration for Dr. Zach's online education Group Immersion course, "The Journey of Intrinsic Health", closes on April 22nd 2022. Click here to check it out: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com

Capítulo 016: On this episode of Ocu-Pasión we are joined by acclaimed visual Artist Gerardo Castro. Listen in as we discuss artistic truth, inspired introspection, and joining the creative charge for LGBTQ+ rights and BIPOC visibility. "I was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, grew up in the New York metropolitan area.  I obtained my MFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY in 1997. My work has been exhibited, in museums and galleries, nationally and internationally, including China, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Budapest, Latin America and major US cities. In my artwork, I use art forms such as drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, beading, sewing, and fire. My work explores the politics of identity, addressing issues of colonization, diaspora, history, gender, spirituality, and religion.  As a contemporary Afro- Latino/Latinx artist, I've created personal artistic vernacular by recycling elements of Yoruba and Santeria aesthetics. I describe my work as Art that is political, erotic, mystical, decorative, and elaborate that brings to mind Magic Realism, Caribbean travel posters, religious icons, and Latin album cover art. I'd say, there's lots of bling in my work.  My relationship to my use of Color is not passive, I don't shy away from it. My use of Color is a form of resistance -   it's intentional - it's a political statement- it's a language.  I create fanciful constellations of marvelous glittery, unmistakably black, and emphatically brown figures in environments that take the viewer on journeys of material, psychological, and sociopolitical transformation. I celebrate the visual texture of my Afro-Descendant culture, affirming that Latino identity is a means of empowerment (be it social, spiritual, political, or personal).  These images are in a sense icons or doorways to the sacred. When you look at an icon, it is meant to make you aware that you are in the presence of someone sacred. "    “To have imagery that looks like us, honors us, reflects us, reminds us that we are sacred.”Feature Spotlight in AFROTAINO online magazine.  Read Claire Lambe's review, of Emanations, in Roll Magazine, the meaning and purpose of the exhibition and the artwork.  Write-up by Faheem Haider, Sex as Salve gives the reader a glimpse into the sensual and tactile side of Gerardo Castro's paintings: Illuminated Shadows.  His Fire & Indigo series are burnings on paper emanating what the artists sees as the most seductive and important color regarding his history and spirituality,  Indigo.

Episode 83 sees Chris and Alex trace the magical realist threads and overlapping timelines that build Anocha Suwichakornpong's often confounding drama By the Time It Gets Dark (2016) (known in Thai as Dao Khanong), replete with its shifting realities, fleeting digital VFX and a pivotal citation of the ‘father of fantasy' (as well as one of cinema's first animators) Georges Méliès. Joining them to discuss Suwichakornpong's mesmerising, kaleidoscopic, and highly original second feature film that dramatises the events of the 1976 Thammasat University massacre is Dr Felicity Gee, Senior Lecturer in Modernism and World Cinema at the University of Exeter, and author of the recent Magic Realism, World Cinema and the Avant-Garde (London: Routledge 2021). Listen as they discuss the film's ‘magical realist' identity and the term's vexed relationship to surrealism, (Low) fantasy storytelling and animation; the possible connections between fantasy narratives and world cinema; imagination, image-making and illusion from Méliès to Chris Marker; the reflexive staging of history and how Suwichakornpong crafts a collage effect that evokes the slipperiness of experience and memory; cinema's capacity to spin an eternal present, and the stakes of the film's own temporal confusion; and the politics of glitch art, and how By the Time It Gets Dark offers spectators an affective assault on both narrative and image that mirrors the violence and brutality of its historical subject matter.

Vaporwave is an art aesthetic that embodies the anxiety, disillusionment, and nihilism of the modern world.In music form, vaporwave dives deep into these unconscious anxieties, manifesting sounds from past decades - warping them, manipulating them, and summoning the ghost of the good times that were promised by modern capitalism, but never came.Vaporwave is an expression of the pains of the collective modern unconscious, taking the form of heroin-level escapism, ecstasy-inducing pop music, or dystopian ambient worlds.Because of its internet-based nature, its aesthetics have evolved so rapidly, further reflecting the chaotic subconscious of the modern mind.Vaporwave captures the modern unconscious of humans raised by the internet succinctly and understanding this art form matters.In each episode, we listen to tracks that make up the genre and give our thoughts, analysis, emotions, and commentary on them.

Peace! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5E6WCP8KAS4NG Carlos Fuentes Macías was a Mexican novelist and short-story writer. He was often named as a likely candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature, though he never won. Carlos Fuentes was one of the greatest exponents of the Magic Realism literary genre. Magic Realism is a type of narrative in which the "element of strangeness" and the peculiar are presented as an everyday occurrence. Or rather, it is a narrative based on the observation of reality, where singularities, peculiarities and oddities have a place within normality. I propose an excerpt from the beautiful short story "Chac Mool". "Chac Mool" is one of Fuentes' most famous short stories. Chac Mool is the term used to refer to a particular form of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican sculpture. - Join my Facebook Group Meditation Mindfulness Yoga Mantra https://www.facebook.com/groups/642191676459430 - Here my short stories about Kindness (I giorni della gentilezza- Paperback - Italian version)- https://tinyurl.com/3vfud2c9 - Here my book Learn Māori Culture and Proverbs (paperback) tinyurl.com/6zmvz9tt - Version with Full Color Images - www.amazon.com/Learn-M%C4%81ori-…1621334435&sr=8-3 - Poster Maramataka: tinyurl.com/pht4easb - Here my book dedicated to Lo-Fi Music (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/r2d69dyb - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book Black Book Note www.amazon.com/BLACK-BOOK-NOTE-i…32&s=books&sr=1-1 - Here my book with illustrated philosophical short stories (ebook and paperback), https://tinyurl.com/mfyd4vk7 - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries.

In this episode, the two Matts gaze upon the Best Dang Story Ever(TM), wonder if rotten tomatoes could still make a good salsa, proudly proclaim our crimes while running from the government, and talk about magic realism stories in the first of our set about slightly fantasy stories. What are the benefits in writing magic realism versus other subgenres? How real can it be? How many fantasy elements can you introduce before it stops being magic realism and becomes full-on urban fantasy? What crazy coasters will Matt Donald ride next time he goes to a theme park once everything's safe again? We discuss it all, with a hint of magic in our very real voices, and talk about A Hundred Years of Solitude, Groundhog Day, Bruce Almighty, and Brave New World (the latter is not magic realism, but it's a classic book we talk about so it makes it sound legit) Have any feedback or questions for our hosts? Email us at mattd@matthewdonaldcreator.com. Also you can purchase Matt Donald's book "Megazoic" on Amazon by clicking here, its sequel "Megazoic: The Primeval Power" by clicking here, its third installment "Megazoic: The Hunted Ones" by clicking here, or its final installment "Megazoic: An Era's End" by clicking here.

Charles Frazier, bestselling author of Cold Mountain, discusses his long awaited third novel Nightwoods which is once again located in the forests and mountains of North Carolina. Travel writers Sara Wheeler and Michael Jacobs look at the nature of travel writing and if the genre will survive in the age of the internet, cheap flights and apps. And Lev Grossman and Erin Morgenstern discuss why they felt compelled to write magic literature for adults and how their books differ from traditional children's fantasy novels.
