My toxic trait is frothing at the mouth when people misuse "magical realism."
It is NOT fantasy tropes like wizards and ghosts in a realistic setting; as in it is not urban fantasy (genre fiction). It is extremely literary and specific. It is about unsettling strangeness that defies reality (or disrupts our understanding of reality, showing a reality in which the strange exists side by side the mundane), often taking elements from indigenous folklore and beliefs (as in indigenous to the setting of the story, heavily influenced by the history and culture).
👏educate yourselves👏
The term magic realism is broadly descriptive rather than critically rigorous, and Matthew Strecher (1999) defines it as "what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe."[10] The term and its wide definition can often become confused, as many writers are categorized as magical realists. The term was influenced by a German and Italian painting style of the 1920s which were given the same name.[2] In The Art of Fiction, British novelist and critic David Lodge defines magic realism: "when marvellous and impossible events occur in what otherwise purports to be a realistic narrative—is an effect especially associated with contemporary Latin American fiction (for example the work of the Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez) but it is also encountered in novels from other continents, such as those of Günter Grass, Salman Rushdie and Milan Kundera. All these writers have lived through great historical convulsions and wrenching personal upheavals, which they feel cannot be adequately represented in a discourse of undisturbed realism", citing Kundera's 1979 novel The Book of Laughter and Forgetting as an exemplar."[11] Michiko Kakutani writes that "The transactions between the extraordinary and the mundane that occur in so much Latin American fiction are not merely a literary technique, but also a mirror of a reality in which the fantastic is frequently part of everyday life."[12] Magical realism often mixes history and fantasy, as in Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, in which the children born at midnight on August 15, 1947, the moment of India's independence, are telepathically linked.
...magical realism is often associated with Latin-American literature, including founders of the genre, particularly the authors Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Jorge Luis Borges, Juan Rulfo, Miguel Ángel Asturias, Elena Garro, Mireya Robles, Rómulo Gallegos and Arturo Uslar Pietri. In English literature, its chief exponents include Neil Gaiman, Salman Rushdie, Alice Hoffman, Louis De Bernieres, Nick Joaquin, and Nicola Barker. In Bengali literature, prominent writers of magic realism include Nabarun Bhattacharya, Akhteruzzaman Elias, Shahidul Zahir, Jibanananda Das and Syed Waliullah. In Kannada literature, the writers Shivaram Karanth and Devanur Mahadeva have infused magical realism in their most prominent works. In Japanese literature, one of the most important authors of this genre is Haruki Murakami. In Chinese literature the best-known writer of the style is Mo Yan, the 2012 Nobel Prize laureate in Literature for his "hallucinatory realism". In Polish literature, magic realism is represented by Olga Tokarczuk, the 2018 Nobel Prize laureate in Literature.

Firestone Walker Brewing Company joins others in supporting "We Love LA" with the release of well We Love LA Pilsner.
https://bit.ly/4iVcXak image courtesy Firestone Walker Brewing Company Press Release A Beer with a Purpose Firestone Walker’s latest release—We Love LA—is more than just a beer. It’s a rallying cry. A crisp, refreshing West Coast Pilsner brewed in support of wildfire relief efforts, now pouring fresh at our Venice Propagator with a wider release across all Firestone Walker locations including Buellton and Paso Robles starting March 21.   Fermented with German lager yeast and dry-hopped with Citra, Strata, and Lorien, We Love LA delivers a bright, fruit-forward aroma, a touch of malt sweetness, and a clean, crisp finish—everything you want in a California pilsner. Available in 4-packs of 16-ounce cans while supplies last. The Movement When wildfires tore through the Palisades and Eaton areas, leaving devastation in their wake, the team at Common Space Brewery in Hawthorne felt a call to action. They put out the word, and the beer community responded. At Firestone Walker, we didn’t hesitate—we knew we had to be part of this. California is our home, and in our DNA, and when our community is in need, we step up. Today, more than 180 breweries across the nation have joined the We Love LA initiative, raising more than 275,000 to support United Way of Greater Los Angeles’s Wildfire Response Fund. “This is what breweries do—we bring people together,” said Hannah Barnett, Brand Director for Firestone Walker. “Seeing so many breweries unite for a cause bigger than beer reminds us why this industry is so special. We’re honored to stand alongside our peers to support those affected and help rebuild these communities.”  Every can of We Love LA helps make a difference.  … More info about We Love LA including participating breweries and updated numbers at: www.welovelabeer.com/aboutwelovela  About Firestone Walker Brewing Company Founded in 1996 by brothers-in-law Adam Firestone and David Walker, Firestone Walker Brewing Company is a family-led second-generation brewery based on California’s Central Coast. Helmed by CEO Nick Firestone and decorated Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, Firestone Walker's main brewery in Paso Robles produces a diverse portfolio of award-winning beers, including 805, California's #1 craft beer brand established in 2012; Mind Haze, one of the country’s top hazy IPAs; and Cali Squeeze, one of the nation's fastest-growing beer brands. The Firestone brand family also includes iconic beers such as DBA, Union Jack, and Pivo Pils, as well as the storied Vintage Series of barrel-aged strong ales led by Parabola. As a California beer company, Firestone Walker also has two additional locations: the Barrelworks wild ale cellar in Santa Barbara County and the Propagator R&D brewhouse in Venice. Firestone Walker was recently named “Best American Brewery of the Decade” by Paste Magazine.
