During the 20th century, Latin American authors blended the folkloric storytelling of rural communities with academic elements of high literature to create the genre of magical realism. Characterized by its mix of fantasy and realism, the genre mixes gritty, authentic narration with symbolic elements of the fantastical. Though most of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s works embody some element of magical realism, his short story, “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings,” is perhaps his finest work in the genre.
