Carlton,

Three authors that our Senior English teacher uses in her Magical Realism
are Gabriel (Jose) Garcia Marquez, Jorge ???, and Salman Rusdie (_Satanic
Verses_).  She said that Stephen King comes as close to that genre as
anyone we have in the U. S.

I'm sure others can contribute many more sources.
