Magical Realism for Non-believers
Magical Realism for Non-believers: A Memoir of Finding Family | Anika Fajardo
5 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
"Magical Realism for Non-Believers is set against the backdrops of Colombia and the United States (particularly Minneapolis) of the mid-1990s, and flashes back to the unsettled freedoms of the 1970s. It's the story of a half-Colombian, half-Minnesotan exploring her past and discovering her future, taking readers on a journey from the US to Fajardo's birthplace in Colombia and the discovery of a half-brother she never knew existed, to the creation of her own family in Minneapolis"--

Fajardo‘s memoir of seeking out the family absent from her childhood memories takes on thoughtful dimensions as she explores what does family mean with her special circumstances. What should she expect? What role does she play in their lives? What do their cultures mean to her? How will she create her family?
