Hey, #WritingCommunity, what do you think of the genre "magical realism", especially its usage outside of its Central American roots?
IMO, it feels like a dilution of the term to use it for fiction that isn't either part of that tradition or at the very least use absurdism/the supernatural as a social critique. But on the other hand there seems to be a gap for that sort of "one magical thing, everything else realistic" in our genre lexicon.
What would you call that?
