"This critical collection combines astute and graceful interpretations of well-known literary texts from the Americas while at the same time displaying a rich global understanding of the broad reach of magical realismFashioning subtle rethinkings of the magical realist movement, it will shape discussion of postmodern and postcolonial literary histories."—José David Saldívar, University of California, Berkeley
