Synopsis

Are you fascinated (or maybe just intimidated!) by Gabriel García Márquez’s 100 Years of Solitude? Do you love Kafka, George Saunders, Gogol, Leslie Marmon Silko, Colson Whitehead, Kathleen Alcalá, and Aimee Bender? All of these writers have one big feature in common: they are all working with a kind of writing called Magical Realism. What is it? And how do you write it? Fiction writer and award winning teacher Stephanie Barbé Hammer uses prompts, games, and simple explanations to demystify Magical Realism AND show writers how to have fun writing it. You'll learn how to mix language, points of view, and plot in new and exciting combinations that will result in stories that are flavorful, distinctive, deep, and unforgettable. Delicious Strangeness will add zest to your writing whether you are new to fiction writíing or are a seasoned (!) professional.
