Regarding Azaro's interaction with the spirit world, could your difficulty have something to do with the way Azaro wanders without a particular ambition? I felt he was in effect of others, passive, without purpose.Robin Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228078617839649885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635533595321602691.post-44231229315233019672019-11-19T14:55:56.812-08:002019-11-19T14:55:56.812-08:00Thank you Zoe for this.

In fact, we can say that this genre is a kind of amalgamation between the real and unreal aspects of life.In addition, the main aim behind this amalgamation is to give a space to the engagement between the writer/ director and reader/ spectator in the literary text and film. Magical realism is the space where the repressed feelings can be discharged and the world flipped upside down.

The theme resonates deeper than subjects of illness and earth and connection to place, to the very core of personal identity--our stability, our mutability, our perceptions of boundaries within and without. Thank you for taking this expansive view of Magic Realism to include poetry.

It was simply a broad turn away from the abstraction of German Expressionism. However after the end of WWII he discounted the importance of the movement, stating that it wss merely a regressive reaction to earlier tendencies. Roh was an art critic and held a doctorate. However, he, like many other Germans interested in art became caught up in Abstract Expressionism after the war, which was the flavor of the day. The article "The Essence of Magic Realism" explains that MR in art was more about the dedication of many painters between 1920 and 1960 to detailed illusionism. Many were highly introverted, even obsessive, individuals who simply loved painting. Understanding the "movement" comes from studying the lifes of the painters themselves. The style(s) of Magic Realism itself is in a sense less important than its "personality", which may be its most important legacy.<br />Georg Kremer (editor of Monograffi.com and writer of numerous articles on this subject)Georg Kremernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635533595321602691.post-31902679117323918302018-04-08T02:37:47.338-07:002018-04-08T02:37:47.338-07:00I grew up in Alderley Edge!

I lived right in the middle of the lands he described in The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. I played in those woods and caves, aware of the layers of other stories slipping around me. My bedroom window had a distant view of Jodrell Bank, which features in Boneland. I didn't know about The Stone Book Quartet - so thank you for adding to this rich collection.

One of the really important services that I think MR authors can provide to readers is to introduce them to hidden influences -- books that have somehow not made it on the IMPORTANT list, but which have worked semi-visibly to make the arenas of writing about the unreal as strong as it is. I particularly appreciate your point about how the most interesting books somehow inhabit a complex intersection between genres. Thanks again.
