“The fantastic cannot exist independently of that 'real' world which it seems to find frustratingly finite.”
Rosemary Jackson, Fantasy: The Literature of Subversion

Julio Cortázar
“The fantastic breaks the crust of appearance … something grabs us by the shoulders to throw us outside ourselves. I have always known that the big surprises await us where we have learned to be surprised by nothing, that is, where we are not shocked by ruptures in the order.”
Julio Cortázar, Around the Day in Eighty Worlds
