Critical works mentioned in the video: Chabon - "Trickster in a Suit of Light" (from Maps & Legends), arguing that literary fiction is a genre just as fantasy, science fiction or horror. James Wood's How Fiction Works argues the opposite point - that literary fiction is somewhat "superior" to these other forms. Eco - The Role of the Reader Fowler - Kinds of Literature McHale - Postmodernist Fiction Fictional works mentioned in the video. The one with an * before them would be good examples of magical realism, if you've never read any: *Allende - The House of the Spirits Brautigan - The Hawkline Monster Brautigan - In Watermelon Sugar Chabon - The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay Clarke - Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell *Cortazar - "House Taken Over" from Blow-Up & Other Stories Finney - The Body Snatchers Flaubert - Madame Bovary Grossman - The Magicians *Kafka - The Metamorphosis King - It Lovecraft - "At the Mountains of Madness" & The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath *Marquez - One Hundred Years of Solitude Rowling - Harry Potter *Rushdie - Midnight's Children Stoker - Dracula Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings Wallace - Infinite Jest Wyndham - The Kraken Wakes Is The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath realist or not? That's debatable; lots of irrational stuff happens, but it's all supposed to be happening in a dream, and one might read the book as a very mimetic/realist treaty on the feeling of inhabiting dreams.
