A wide-ranging anthology of Latin American women’s fiction
Edited by Celia Correas de Zapata, this collection brings together stories by thirty-one women writers from fourteen countries. The title’s pairing of “the magic and the real” signals the anthology’s broad imaginative scope, while the English translations—by scholars and writers including Gregory Rabassa and Margaret Sayers Peden—make this selection of Latin American fiction available to English-language readers. Its multi-author, multi-country format offers a cross-section of women’s storytelling rather than a single, continuous narrative.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers seeking short fiction by Latin American women writers.
- Readers interested in anthologies spanning authors and countries.
- English-language readers exploring Latin American fiction in translation.
