../ Your Non-Denominational Source for The Weird Tue, 22 Mar 2016 00:26:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 ../#comment-112217 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 00:26:33 +0000 ../../../../#comment-112217 The translator is quite right about Reyes being the writer who allowed others to scape from dull realism into a new realism; first after him came Juan Rulfo, Juan José Arreola and (our best female writer ever) Elena Garro. They form the holy trinity of our literature, and the three of them, but mostly Arreola and Garro, produced plenty of weird fiction. Adolfo Bioy Casares and Borges called Elena Garro the most accomplished fantasy write from Latinamerica, and they might as well be right, she wrote a bunch of perfect magic realism stories more than a decade before García Márquez was considered the king of latinamerican literature, by exploring tropes first introduced by her in mexican and latinamerican literature.
