FOR WRITERS: Magical Realism

FOR WRITERS

Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer John Marshall:

Magical realism. When we include magic in our paranormal settings, do we look to the real word or do we seek something totally original? If we do choose to use real world cultural traditions, how can we both indulge in poetic licence but also be sensitive to the history of white authors sensationalizing non-western cultures in negative ways.
