Although I'm not THE writer/reader that you are, I am learning so much simply by reading your essays. I also enjoy the comments in which others respond. I almost feel like I'm taking a class, because I'm learning so much. Thanks for sharing.

I think there’s a lot of writing from the African continent that blends and runs with magic realism too. I really enjoyed Chicozie Obiome’s ‘Orchestra of Minorities’ which had hints of the genre about it. Loved Kafka’s two seminal books, Bulgakov too. Enjoyed ‘100 Years…’ but think I started and then didn’t finish ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’, and have never quite been sold by Murakami’s and Rushdie’s books, though have tried a few times to be so!
