En total, me gusté el curso mucho. En general, olvidé los textos, especialmente Cien años de soledad. Aparte del gran duración de la novela, pienso que es lo mejor ejemplo de realismo mágico que he leído. También me gusta much las historias d…

Este curso ha sido un reto para mi. Encanto las obras de García Márquez, de Isabel Allende y Carlos Fuentes, pues tenía sentido que tomaría este curso. “Leyendas de Guatemala” era muuuy difícil para mi, y temía que no tendría capaz de segu…

lo último.

Este es mi último post en el blog. Mi cuento favorito de los cuentos de McOndo es lo de Perú. Es Extrañando a Diego de Jaime Baily. Por uno, es divertidísimo. Tiene un humor un poco sarcástico, pero lo me gusta mucho. Por ejemplo cuando habla sobre el gimnasio, o el concierto: “Aunque detesto los […]

I can’t believe the semester is almost over. How time flies. I was presently surprised with all of the literature we covered in this class. I didn’t know what to expect when I registered for the class as I have never read any of the literature before…

Well, I’d be lying if I said I’ve been on top of my blog posts lately. This past month has been an absolute nightmare for me. Constant problem sets, massive group assignments, presentations and work outside of school really don’t equate to me getting a…

What? It’s over already? Just when I was beginning to understand things…Looking back at my first blog entry, I feel like I’ve come a long way in my understanding of this concept known as “magical realism”. I thought I had a general grasp of what …

I can hardly beleive the semester is over, even harder to beleive, is that I found the time to read all that literature…I have to say that my favourite was El Reino de este mundo. This book helped me to better understand magic realism and the way it …

Span 365 The Course
Posted by: | April 10, 2010 | Comments Off on Span 365 The Course
The course centers around magical realism and for the most part I thought I knew what it was and that the 3 books we read where all examples of magical realism; to which I was mistaken which left me lost on the concept. All three books seemed to use th…

I had an interest to learn a little more behind the McOndo movement and decided to read further into some articles and reviews. It was interesting to first learn how Fuguet had come about the idea just after being denied to publish one of his works in …

Estoy disfrutando mucho los cuentos de McOndo. A leer más, me parece que hay un gran tema del rechazo de lo imaginario…algo que va contra lo que aparece en los textos que hemos leído hasta ahora del realismo mágico. Los escritores del Boom creí…
