Magic Realism

[close] For those who love all things Austenesque...with a bit of yiddishkeit. Creative license allows the inclusion of later periods, such as Victorian and Edwardian; but, please keep in light and entertaining i.e.: No Holocaust, Inquisition, etc.

[close] "On paths unknown, we tread with wonder. Through a glass darkly, to brave new worlds and beyond we go." We seek to explore and do critical reading from any genre on challenging literature, both new and established, that links into themes of exploring ideas relating to various aspects of culture, society and technology, as well as what is loosely called 'literary fiction'; and in addition, non-English translated literature from around the world. We also discuss classics as well as avant-garde literature from all eras inasfar as they have challenged the world around them. Wherever necessary to give more background knowledge, discussion of non-fiction books are welcome. The idea is to provide not only a forum for discussion, but a database of book-ish information for the eclectic reader. Our threads all remain open indefinitely, so you can browse through and read and/or contribute at your own leisure.
