Eight - Fantastical Tales from Here, There & Everywhere | Poornima Manco
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
What if... anything was possible?
What really lurks beneath the humdrum and the mundane, the ubiquitous and the familiar?
And what if you came face to face with it?
Enter a world where goddesses descend to earth, magical creatures materialise out of thin air, ghosts mean well, and limbs have minds of their own. In a series of tales that explore the fantastical and the surreal, the lives of ordinary people are upturned by bizarre incidents and mysterious happenings.
Are you ready to take a walk on the wild side?

One of the reasons I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez is because of the magic realism.These 8 short stories take place in different countries and while dealing with very serious subjects(disability,addiction,loss, loneliness...)each of them has a touch of magic realism that make it very easy to get immersed in them. It would benefit of some notes to translate/explain certain words,but the absence doesn't stop you following the story #NetGalleyARC
