Episode 51 - Silvina Ocampo and her Weird Against Magical Realism


Listen Later

Hello everyone!! We're nearly 3 years old as a pod! And while this isn't the celebration proper, I wanted to make this month's episode just as good.

As such, I chat on one of my favourite reads from last year, a collection of short stories by Argentinian writer, Silvina Ocampo. They are weird, fantastic, horrific and amazing stories, and yet very unique. As such, I also make it a point to reflect on and question the category of "Magical Realism" and its many issues. Quite a dense and varied episode, if very very fun to do, enjoy!
