Entry: The $200 Million Used Mercedes Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_200_million_used_mercedes#10178 Post contents: Magic realism is just the hifallutin' name for fantasy. You know, the stuff that Tolkien wrote. When it takes place in commonplace surrounding it is called urban fantasy and has many practicioners, such as Stephen Brust, Margaret Lackey, and Tanya Huff, all honest journeymen in the trade, who compete for the reader's beer money. But since literary critics would not be seen reading a fantasy (or sci fi) paperback, they call it magic realism. Sent at: 2008 09 06
