The Doors Came as a Release: A Magical Realism Intensive
In this class, we'll approach Magical Realism—in short and longer forms—less as a strict genre than as a set of recipes that can be tweaked and flavored to make our writing open the emotional doors of laughter, fear, and perhaps even wonder. We'll enlist the assistance of Gabriel García Márquez, Aimee Bender, Franz Kafka, Mohsin Hamid, Kathleen Alcalá, Stacey Levine, Haruki Murakami, and more through readings, prompts, and homework assignments.
