Notes:
This article reviews Manuel M. Martin-Rodriquez's book "Life in Search of Readers: Reading (in) Chicano/a Literature." The article states that "His analysis of the practice by publishers of routinely applying a 'magical realism' label to Chicano/Latino texts that enter the mainstream is insightful and amusing... the very originality and uniqueness ascribed to a novel written by someone who grew up in the U.S. is snatched away when compared and reduced to an imitation of Colombian Gabriel García Márquez's novel."
