Wow! What an imagination this man has. I am now intrigued to read "Magical Realm", when he acts like a dog, how bizarre.
ReplyDelete"Magical Realism" is a genre I often gravitate towards. Though I had prior never heard of G.G. Marquez, I might attempt One Hundred Years of Solitude when I get a chance.
